About Us:
aebal is a small Nottingham-based organisation providing social support for adults with mental health conditions, autism and learning disabilities. Please visit our website to learn more about our service and the type of support we provide.
The Job:
Our Community Support Co-ordinators (CSCs) deliver support in small groups alongside other staff members or sometimes on a one-to-one basis.
We don’t operate from a day centre or building as our ethos is for all our clients to gain real-life experiences out in the mainstream community. All our staff are drivers and a large part of the role involves collecting clients from their homes and travelling to an array of different activity venues around Nottingham.
We specialise in small group activities that involve Sports and Leisure, Nature, animals and Wildlife and various other fun and sociable activities.
We also provide Saturday Road Trips each week where we take slightly larger groups to venues outside of Nottinghamshire, across the wider region. This job involves quite a lot of driving, especially to Saturday venues. A degree of flexibility is also required as part of this role.
Applicants should expect to work 2 Saturdays per month, Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons. Some additional cover of sessions may also be required. This is open to discussion and mutual agreement.
What we need from you:
- You MUST have a car and a driving licence to apply for this role
- To be available to work Tuesday mornings (9.30am – 1:30pm) and Friday afternoons (1:30pm – 4:30pm) and two Saturdays per month. A degree of flexibility would also be welcome, as cover on other sessions may occasionally be required
- A passion for helping others to flourish and achieve their true potential
- Calm under pressure and able to adapt to change easily
- A great sense of humour!
- To be understanding, patient and resourceful
- To be self-reliant and confident with lone working and managing your day
- To be healthy and active and able to take part in various sports sessions
- Computer literate for documenting your sessions and support
- Great communication skills for interacting with clients and also your colleagues
- Previous experience is not always necessary as full and ongoing training is provided
- A good approach towards training, as new recruits are required to complete training for the role when they start. This is all completed during paid, working hours
- All staff have paid reading list time every week, in order to complete regular reading of support plans, risk assessments and training updates
