Job Description

RCCE Community Agents Essex is looking to add to the team.

Looking for a flexible job supporting people in your local community?

We are adding to our team in South Essex, potentially working in Brentwood, Basildon and Rochford.

This is a part time permanent position. Home based with some home visiting of clients.

Do you enjoy or want a rewarding role working for a local charity, supporting adults to live independently?

This is not a carers role

We are a network of people, who provide advice and guidance to adults; in particular older people, but it can be any adult over 18yrs who requires a home visit to enable them to remain living in their own homes. We're also here to help Informal carers.

The job involves visiting people in their own homes - on an appointment system - and explaining the help and support that is available to meet their individual needs. It is not a personal caring role.

The job is flexible to fit around personal/family commitments, working between 15 and 25 hours a week (minimum 15). The exact number of hours per week will be agreed with the successful candidate.

The starting salary is 12.50 per hour plus travelling expenses. Full training and support will be provided but you must have a good knowledge of the local community and the district. An interest in or experience of Learning disabilities and autism would be beneficial but not essential.

You must be able to demonstrate that you can proactively engage with and support people in the community often on a one-to-one basis. Working as part of a remote team you must have excellent spoken and written communication skills and possess the ability to solve problems. You must have good IT skills, a full driving licence and use of your own car.

All appointments will be subject to a DBS check.
