Job description
What you will be doing
We are actively encouraging male candidates to apply for this opportunity at our specialist residential service in Roehampton.
Must hold the UK driving license, as during the shifts, you will be using the company vehicle to safely be escorting and driving staff, visitors and service users to local destinations and surrounding areas within Southwest London. This is to accommodate the needs of our service users in the most efficient manner.
This two-in-one role will see you join an inclusive, supportive team that works well together to provide care to people with learning disabilities. Whether you have experience as a Healthcare Assistant or transferable skills from another industry, you will use your knowledge and skills to help support people to lead a valued and fulfilled life.
It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve thanks to you; being able to do something today that they couldn’t do last week.
You will have access to the Elysium Wellbeing team, which is on hand to keep you feeling great; be it a chat, massage or group activities. Who doesn’t like a free massage at work?
With a huge range of courses that will help you grow and succeed, if you have the aspiration, capability and dedication, Elysium Healthcare can give you the support and opportunities to help you achieve your career goals.
The shift patterns include working 7.5 hours a day, 4-5 days a week between the hours of 7:00am - 2.30pm and 2.30pm - 10:00pm. Weekend shifts are on a rota basis. Long days hours are optional where available.
