Am I the right person for this Community Outreach Worker (Weekends) job?

 

Without support, our customers do not have the confidence to participate in group activities, therefore this is a vital lifeline for them to develop their social skills.

 

We are looking for someone who is passionate about providing quality care to vulnerable people in our community. You will be empathetic and be able to use your initiative when working alone with our customers. You will need to write case notes, therefore a good understanding of English is essential and you should be computer literate. We would prefer someone who has previous experience, but this is not essential, as training is given.
