Just the job for a Student…
This isn’t your regular job! Are you an open-minded person? Can you work under pressure whilst retaining a calm and relaxed exterior and maintain your sense of humour?
Can you see beyond the history of the person and remain determined to help people build really good person-centred lives?
We are an innovative community project working with people with a learning disability and mental health issues who have additional needs. We provide one to one support to help people live ‘a life worth living’.
The day-to-day job varies but involves supporting people to stay safe and healthy and to get out and about doing activities they enjoy (such as the cinema, bike rides, playing football).
This would be an excellent opportunity for students on courses such as Nursing, Social Work and Psychology/Criminology to apply theory to practice and get some relevant experience for their future career. The job may also suit people on other courses who want a change from customer service or hospitality roles.
No experience or qualifications in social care are required for the role. Applicants MUST have a strong value base, with an ability to respect the clients’ wishes and views and enable them to enjoy a full and enriched life of their choosing.
If you can commit to promoting the needs of others we can commit to helping you develop your career. Due to ongoing expansion, our positive and supportive management team and the people we work with, are looking for:
FULL-TIME, PART-TIME and BANK SUPPORT WORKERS in the Preston/Leyland Area.
For Full and Part- Time contracts
- Salary £18,325 to £18,576 per annum (depending on qualifications)
- PLUS additional sleepovers paid at £50 per night
- Flexibility to work evenings and alternate weekends is essential.
UCLan suggests that students work no more than 15 hours a week which would work out as two shifts a week. However, we will be guided by you and can offer more hours if you think you can commit to this. We will build you a rota that fits in with your university commitments. Just let us know when you are unavailable.
For Bank Contracts
We appreciate that Bank contracts are not for everyone but may offer students the flexibility they need while studying. Work more during the holidays and less (or not at all) when deadlines are looming. Ideally bank staff will work some evenings and weekends but this is not required.
- Salary is £9.50 – £9.63ph (depending on qualifications).
- Sleepovers paid at £50 per night.
