Job description

For genuine occupational requirements we require female support workers for this client.

Are you looking for a part‑time role for Thursdays, Fridays and weekends? Would you love a rewarding role, supporting our young client with complex health needs in her family home?

Join Active Care in the Home, and become part of a rewarding new care team supporting our young client in Stockport.

This is more than just a job; it's a chance to build a trusted connection with one individual and make a genuine difference in her life.

About the role:

This role is to support a 15‑year‑old girl who has complex needs due to a traumatic brain injury. She is a wheelchair user, has epilepsy, uses a mini button for feeds and meds, is non‑verbal and communicates using Makaton and her communication book. She lives at home with her family, and we provide support in the family home.

When you will be working:

• Thursday and Friday mornings (7am‑9am) and evenings (4pm‑9pm)
• Plus a share of weekend shifts (we provide 8am‑8pm shifts on Saturdays and Sundays and a Saturday sleep night shift 10pm‑8am).

In this role, you'll support one individual with complex needs, working regular weekly shifts to build a consistent, trusted care team. While hours are usually stable, the position is offered on a zero‑hours contract.

What to look forward to:

• Earn up to £13.50 per hour (depending on experience)
• Full specialist training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support from your Care Manager
• Access to the Active Learning Hub e‑learning & in‑person development
• Holiday pay, regular monthly rotas, and a Nest pension
• Be recognised through our Active Awards programme
• Refer a friend and earn up to £1,500
• A chance to build a meaningful career with the backing of a leading clinical and business team
