About the Role

We're looking for caring, resilient and hands-on Male Support Workers to join our team in Gillingham.

You'll be supporting adults with complex needs to live fulfilling, independent lives while helping them achieve their personal goals and enjoy the things that matter most to them.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone with

• Personal care and daily living tasks
• Building confidence and independence
• Accessing the community and attending appointments
• Going to the cinema, pub, shops or other leisure activities
• Learning new skills and achieving personal goals
• Maintaining relationships with family and friends

This is an active service, so you'll need to be comfortable supporting people to participate in a variety of community-based activities.

A full UK driving licence is highly desirable, and confident drivers are particularly encouraged to apply.

What We're Looking For

Experience supporting people with complex needs and behaviours of distress would be beneficial, but full training will be provided.

We're looking for people who are

• Patient, caring and resilient
• Calm under pressure
• Reliable and flexible
• Strong communicators
• Positive team players
• Passionate about making a difference

Experience supporting people with the following is advantageous

• Autism
• Mental health needs
• Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
• Behaviours of distress
• Trauma-informed support
• Forensic backgrounds
• Complex support needs

Why Choose Voyage Care?

You don't need previous care experience to succeed at Voyage Care. What matters most is having the right values, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

We'll provide the training, support and development opportunities you need to build a rewarding career within a sector-leading organisation.
