(Due to the location of Chipstead Lake, applicants will require driving licence and access to vehicle.)

Chipstead Lake, in the peaceful village of Chipstead in Kent, is home for 24 adults with physical disabilities. Our home has extensive, accessible grounds and enjoys incredible views of the village’s large fishing lake. We’re only a short drive from the town of Sevenoaks.

As a Support Worker, you’ll provide a high level of care and support to vulnerable people, enabling them to live the life they choose. You will assist with daily tasks including personal care, medication and assistance at mealtimes, motivating and encouraging choice and participation.

A night enhancement of £1.50 per hour will apply from 8pm to 7am Monday – Sunday (this does not apply to sleep-ins). A weekend day enhancement of £2.00 per hour will be paid from 7am to 8pm, Saturday and Sunday.

As well as competitive pay, we offer a great range of employee rewards such as Wagestream (coming soon! Access earned pay before pay day), free Blue Light card and discounts for high street retailers, free DBS check, generous annual leave, contributory pension scheme, excellent training programmes relevant to your role and so much more!
