Why Work With Us
As a Mindful Employer and a Disability Confident Employer, ESS is a great place to work
Grow, Develop and Learn - No Matter Your Ability
We value each and every member of the ESS team. Each support worker has their own unique skills and strengths, and we believe this is essential for matching our clients with the right support worker.
We’re an accredited Disability Confident employer and Mindful employer. We are equipped to provide additional support for an individual regardless of their ability or condition.
Every day is different at ESS. Our staff support our clients with a wide range of tasks and personal projects from decorating a cake for their birthday or securing a part time job.
Training starts from the outset with a series of mandatory learning both in an e-learning and classroom format. This training is undertaken during a worker’s induction. All workers will also be required to complete a Care Certificate.
Once this is completed, staff are able to commence their employment in the areas for which they are trained. We take training seriously and we always ensure staff are up to date on all the requirements. We use a matrix system to alert us when staff need to re-fresh their knowledge.
Our Employee Assistance Programme ensures our support workers are healthy and happy while they work with us, offering practical advice and support for any wellbeing concerns. Staff members also benefit from personal development and training opportunities, generous annual leave, a paid day off for their birthday, discounts and vouchers.
Being there for a client every step of the way as they recover and achieve their goals can be hugely rewarding.
