About The Role

Are you a caring individual who is passionate about helping people live independent, fulfilling lives? We are looking for compassionate, motivated, and reliable Community Support Workers to join our Adult Disability Services team in the Fylde and Wyre area. If you're someone who thrives on variety and wants a change from 9-5, this could be the role for you!

In this rewarding role, you will support adults with a variety of needs to achieve their personal goals, develop life skills, access community opportunities, and maintain their health and wellbeing in their own homes. You will empower individuals to make choices, build their confidence, and participate fully in their communities.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide practical and emotional support tailored to individual needs.
• Support people with daily living activities, including personal care, medication, and mobility where required.
• Promote independence, social inclusion, and community participation.
• Help individuals access employment, education, volunteering, and leisure opportunities.
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to support planning and reviews.
• Work collaboratively with families, carers, colleagues, and partner agencies.

What We're Looking For

Passion – we want to recruit people with a passion to make a positive difference to people's lives, by providing much needed support like it's second nature. Bringing comfort with a warm smile and a cup of tea, you will provide people with personal care, household chores, finances, medication and anything else they require in their day-to-day life. You will be changing people's lives and breaking down those barriers that they face on a daily basis.

Empathy & Resilience – you will understand the challenges the people we support deal with, which means an empathic nature is of upmost importance. It is essential that you are able to communicate clearly and effectively with every individual providing reassurance and positivity.

What We Offer

• Full induction and ongoing training.
• Opportunities for personal and professional development.
• A rewarding career making a real difference to people's lives.
• Pay enhancements for weekend and sleep in shifts.

In return Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on LCC Vacancies website.

DBS

The post you are applying for is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013). If successful you will be required to apply to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for a 'disclosure'. Further information can be found on the 'Our Recruitment Process' tab.

Local Government Reorganisation

The Government has confirmed that local government across Lancashire will be reorganised, with the current 15 councils being replaced by four new unitary councils covering North, South, East and West Lancashire from April 2028.

If you are successful in your application, you will initially join Lancashire County Council. However, as part of the planned transition, your employment will transfer to one of the new unitary councils from April 2028, subject to the implementation of the reorganisation and relevant employment legislation.

Throughout this period, our focus remains on delivering excellent services to our communities. By joining us now, you'll play an important role in shaping the future of local government and helping to build a strong new organisation that will serve residents for years to come.
