Are you the candidate we are looking for? At Shaftesbury Martello Road we are recruiting for Enabling Support Workers.

Please note this role does not qualify for visa sponsorship, as the salary requirements set by the Home Office are not satisfied.

You will be required to maintain accurate records while at work, in line with the service requirements. You may also be required to administer personal care and medication.

There will be a requirement to cover sleep in sessions. You will be paid an additional £60 per sleep in.

At Martello Road, Shaftesbury South East provides person-centred care and support, enabling adults with intellectual and physical disabilities to live as independently as possible.
