Job description

Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way. Supporting individuals with Learning Disabilities and Autism means embracing their unique journey. Every day brings new opportunities to explore interests, from a peaceful walk in the park to enjoying a favourite café or engaging in their hobbies. Your role is to empower and connect, helping them navigate life with confidence and independence. We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can’t teach you is the stuff that comes from within: That buzz you get when you celebrate someone’s wins – big or small. That natural sense of wanting to make someone’s day brighter. That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step. In essence, that’s what we are looking for from you.

Responsibilities

• Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
• Adjust your approach to meet people’s needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
• Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.

People are at the heart of everything we do and as a support worker you will embody our core values by:

• Working together
• Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with
• Communicating openly and building trust
• Helping each other to provide the best support possible
• Giving our best
• Being dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives
• Whether the day was easy or tough, taking responsibility for your actions and focusing on what matters most to those you support
• Having courage
• Being open to new ideas and approaches
• Using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others
• Providing the most effective and adaptable support possible

If you’re all about possibilities and interested to support someone in a way that is meaningful to them, apply today.

If you are offered a role with us, you will need to complete an enhanced DBS check. We will submit your application and pay for your check.
