Job description

Support Worker - Complex Care

We are seeking dedicated, compassionate Support Workers to join a small and supportive care team providing one-to-one care for a 26-year-old female client with complex clinical needs in Studham, Dunstable.

This is a rewarding opportunity for individuals who are committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care that promotes independence, dignity, and quality of life.

The client has the following complex needs:

• Tracheostomy with ventilation
• Spinal injury
• Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Challenging behaviours

This is a rewarding role supporting someone who wants more than just care - she wants purpose, fun, and a full life.

About the client:

The client is a 26-year-old woman with a range of interests, including horses, films, music, and social outings. She enjoys trips to the cinema, zoo, coffee shops, and restaurants, and takes an active role in cooking and daily routines where possible.

She lives in a large bungalow alongside her brother and her big gentle dog (who loves belly rubs), with regular visits from close family members. The home environment is warm, stable, and family-oriented.

We are looking for confident and proactive candidates who can build strong, trusting relationships with her family, enabling her to get out, explore, and fully enjoy life.

Shifts Available:

• Days 08:00-20:00
• Nights 20:00-08:00
• Please note while hours are usually stable, the position is offered on a zero-hours contract.

Please note that this care package is based in a rural location with no access to public transport.

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. You’ll also receive an additional 14.07% holiday pay on every hour worked.

What you'll have

• A legal right to work in the UK
• Own reliable method of transport - due to location of the family home
• Must be female
• Experience in Acquired brain injury is advantageous
• This role requires a confident, experienced support worker who is proactive and excellent at building relationships and maintaining boundaries.

What to look forward to:

• Up to £15.00/hour week days, weekends £15.50 (based on experience)
• Paid DBS Check & Induction Training
• Consistent work schedule
• Holiday pay & Nest pension
• Active Awards recognition programme
• Refer-a-Friend scheme (earn up to £1,000!)
• Incredible support from our clinical and business leadership team

*Please note we are recruiting a Female Support Worker due to a genuine occupational requirement of the person we support therefore this role is exempt from the Equality Act 2010 Part Schedule 9

At Active Care Group we want everyone to feel welcome and supported. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment or interview process, just let us know and we’d be very happy to discuss this with you.
