Appel à candidature : La Croix-Rouge Britannique recrute un(e) Travailleur(euse) d’assistance aux services au Royaume-Uni.
Do you love helping people in need? Are you looking for a rewarding role that could kick start your career in the health and social sector? We are looking for a passionate and enthusiastic person with great people skills to join our Independent Living team.
At the British Red Cross, we put the people that need us at the heart of what we do. As a Service Support Worker, you will provide the support and care which can make a vital difference to the quality of people’s lives, allowing them to continue living at home in comfort.
You will provide reactive, focused and flexible support to adults following a hospital stay to enable early discharge when clinical needs have been met. You will assist the Independent Living Service Coordinator by undertaking duties required to meet the service users’ needs in order to re-enable service users to return to their own home and prevent hospital re-admission.
You will respond to referrals from Clinicians and Health Professionals and will be required to have the ability to assess service users’ needs, complete and follow a support plan for the individual. In addition, you will be providing practical and emotional support during discharge, in the service user’s own home and signposting to other services where appropriate to enable the individual to live independently in their own home.
Not only will your role allow people to enjoy healthier, more fulfilling lives, but a career within Independent Living can be both rewarding and satisfying, providing extensive progression opportunities and allowing you to build meaningful relationships with both colleagues and service users.
