Community Support Worker

Be part of a team dedicated to working alongside people in their local area. A team that builds independence, supports people’s wellbeing and is part of a wide network of local and national support.

Beyond traditional adult social care, we build support around what people can do then challenge and inspire them to do even more. Key Ring recognises that life should be built around connections, friendships and doing things you love. Life should never ever be built around a support provider.

Our support and career options are flexible. We'd love to talk about how your career at Key Ring fits around what is important to you.

Closing Date: 10th July 2026

Salary: £26,227.50 per annum

Hours: Full‑time, 37.5 hours per week (job share arrangements possible).

What you’ll do:

• You’ll work with local people to build their skills, local connections and friendships, ensuring they are looking after themselves and living lives that are more than social care.
• You’ll meet people in their homes or at local venues.
• Examples of impact:
  • Helped David sort out his finances so he can pay bills and save for a trip abroad.
  • Supported Carol by setting alarms for her tablets, reducing her anxiety and enabling her to be more active.

What you won’t be expected to do:

This role does not involve personal care such as bathing or toileting. We will work with other local support providers to ensure those needs are met.

As an Information and Guidance Worker, you will provide high‑quality, accessible information and guidance to disabled people, their families and carers in Southwark. You will support residents to navigate health, social care, welfare, housing, and community services—promoting independence, reducing inequalities and ensuring disabled people’s voices are central to shaping local provision.

We encourage applications from disabled people, Southwark residents and people from Black, Asian and racialised communities. We value lived experience of disability as an asset to this role.

Contract Type: Part‑time, 16 hours per week (one day must be Tuesday).
