Our support workers spend meaningful time with the people they support, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and valued. Building strong, trusting relationships is at the heart of what we do, as the connection between a client and their support worker is key to achieving positive outcomes.

• Communicate effectively with clients, colleagues, families, and professionals.
• Maintain accurate records and ensure confidentiality at all times.
• Uphold safeguarding, health & safety, and organisational policies.
• Take part in training, team meetings, and ongoing development.

What we’re looking for:

• NVQ Level 2 in Care (or willingness to complete).
• Ideally, 2+ years’ experience supporting adults with learning disabilities.
• A caring, empathetic, and non-judgemental attitude.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• The ability to remain calm, cheerful, and professional in challenging situations.
• Commitment to high standards and person-centred support.
• Full Driving Licence and use of own vehicle

For female applicants only

Please note: This role is open to female applicants only. This is a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, part 1 Equality Act 2010, due to the needs of the people we support.

We’re committed to keeping the people we support safe, so this role requires a satisfactory enhanced DBS and background checks.
