<div class="mds-edited-text mds-font-body-copy-bulk"><p>Do you have the commitment and values to make a real difference to the lives of people with care needs? Are you passionate about empowering them to improve their quality of life, while supporting them to realise their hopes, dreams and aspirations? Creative Support is a not-for-profit organisation which provides high quality, person-centred support to people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health needs and dementia. The support we offer is tailored to the individual client’s needs and encourages independence and community engagement.  <br />
 <br />
We are looking for calm, resourceful, and energetic individuals who are highly motivated, hardworking, and keen to support older people in a proactive and holistic manner. You will have well-honed skills in positive communication and engagement, and will be able to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for our all our service users. You will support people to maintain a healthy state of wellbeing, mentally, physically and emotionally. You will (alongside members of the person’s circle of support) empower individuals to be happy, healthy, and successful in achieving their life goals. We are a local provider in Tower Hamlets employing a diverse team of over 100 well supported staff to deliver great services.</p>
<p>Creative Support is committed to your continuous professional development and as a successful candidate, you will receive a full local and corporate induction and be enrolled on the Care Certificate if pertinent. On completion of your probationary period, you will automatically be enrolled onto the NVQ level 3 diploma in Health and Social Care. You will have the opportunity to discuss your training and development needs during regular supervision and appraisal meetings.</p>
<p>You must be willing to embrace all aspects of the role including, but not limited to, providing support with personal care and domestic tasks, and supporting individuals to access work, education and social opportunities. We value the personal skills and interests you bring to the role and to the lives of the people we support, such as, sports and outdoor pursuits, creative arts, music, and cooking to name but a few. You will be required to work in a flexible manner, on a roster basis, which will include evenings. Previous experience, whilst desirable, is not necessary – what we need most from you is gumption and a can-do attitude.</p>
<p>Creative Support offers a great range of benefits for its staff, which include: <br />
•    20 days plus 8 statutory days annual leave (pro rata for part time staff)<br />
•    A one off £100 bonus for successfully completing the six month probationary period<br />
•    Extensive free training and enrolment on Level 3 Health and Social Care Diploma<br />
•    Access to the staff benefits scheme where you can access a range of benefits including discounted prices and two for one offers at theme parks, shops, restaurants and various on-line stores  <br />
•    Free life assurance which provides a lump sum equal to two times annual salary<br />
•    Access to a special scheme which enables membership of the Hospital Saturday Fund on preferential rates. There are a choice of packages offering different levels of service.<br />
•    Auto-enrolment in a pension scheme with the People’s Pension.<br />
•    24/7 Management support through our on call services and Head Office <br />
•    Opportunities for personal development and career progression </p>
<p>We are a passionate, inclusive and anti-racist organisation. We embrace diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and cultures. As a Disability Confident Employer we welcome applications from people with a disability, and as a proud Stonewall Diversity Champion we actively encourage applications from the LGBT+ community.</p>
<p>We would encourage you to apply to us even if you have not yet had your COVID 19 vaccine. You will be required to have your first COVID 19 vaccine prior to your interview and your second vaccine before you start work with us. This time will be used to complete post interview recruitment checks. Applicants who are unable to receive the vaccination on medical grounds are still welcome to apply with provision of their official NHS COVID pass letter of medical exemption.</p>
<p>We will be interviewing for this role as suitable applications are received and may close this role before the closing date upon a successful candidate being appointed.</p>
