Job description

At Active Assistance, we're looking for compassionate, reliable Support Workers to join our team, supporting a friendly, independent gentleman with a spinal cord injury in his own home in Tamworth. This is more than a care role. It's about getting to know someone as an individual, respecting their choices, and supporting them to live life on their own terms. You'll play an important part in promoting independence, building trust and helping make everyday moments meaningful. Why You'll Love This Role Every day is unique - whether you're helping your client enjoy fresh air in the community, joining him on family holidays and adventures (travel and accommodation fully covered!), or simply sharing everyday moments that make life meaningful. You'll be supporting someone who is active, positive, and full of life - and you'll be part of a small, close-knit team that truly values person-centred support and mutual respect. In this role, you'll support one individual with complex needs as part of a consistent care team, with regular weekly shifts and rotas planned in advance. While the role is offered on a flexible zero-hours contract, the work is ongoing and typically provides a stable working pattern with the same client. Your Role:

• As a 2:1 team provide personal care, medication support, and use of clinical equipment
• Assist with moving and handling
• Drive your client to appointments, outings, and activities (Full clean UK driving licence required)
• Join family trips and holidays, creating shared experiences and lasting memories
• A kind, caring, and patient nature
• Reliability and a genuine commitment to person-centred care
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• Regular availability to ensure continuity of care
• Full clean UK driving licence (international licences not accepted due to insurance criteria)
• up to £14.50 per hour (depending on experience)
• Plus you'll also receive an additional 14.07% holiday pay on every hour worked
• 12hr shifts
• Part-time (24 hrs) or Full-time (36-48 hrs) hours
• Specialist training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support from our Care Manager
• Consistent rotas - plan your life with confidence
• Accrued holiday pay & Nest pension
• Recognition awards for outstanding contribution
• Refer a Friend Scheme - earn up to £1,500
• Career progression within one of the UK's leading complex care providers
