This role is advertised under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1.

This is a day centre-based role, where individuals attend during the day to socialise, take part in activities, and enjoy companionship in a safe and supportive environment before returning home.

• Provide companionship and emotional support
• Promote independence, confidence, and wellbeing
• Ensure a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all attendees
• Maintain accurate records where required

About You

You are friendly, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with people, particularly older adults. You bring a positive attitude and a caring, person-centred approach.

What You’ll Bring

• A minimum NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care (or equivalent)
• Experience or interest in supporting individuals with age-related needs
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A warm, engaging personality with a passion for supporting others
• Understanding of dignity, respect, and inclusion

Working Pattern: This is a part-time role (22.5 hours per week) worked on a rota between 8:30am and 7:00pm, Monday to Friday, with Saturdays (on a rota basis) and bank holidays as required.

Salary:
£17,676 per year for 22.5 hours per week
