Join My Support Team!

Hi there! I’m a fun-loving, social, and upbeat woman in my 30s, and I’m on the lookout for a kind, energetic Support Worker to become part of my small but amazing team. I believe in living life to the fullest with the right support by my side.

My current team is made up of supportive, hardworking people who respect my choices and always make sure I’m happy. I love spending time with both my family and my support team, and I’m hoping to find someone who enjoys life as much as I do.

If you’re someone who loves to socialise, laugh, and explore new places, we’ll get along great. I’m into cooking and baking (especially anything chocolatey!), playing snap, crafting, swimming, and bowling. Imagination and a good sense of humour are always welcome!

People often say I’m always smiling and spreading happiness. I’ve got a cheeky sense of humour and love a good laugh. Family time is everything to me. My parents and auntie live next door, and I love spending time with them especially when snacks are involved! I’m also a big fan of music (Heart FM is my go-to).

To support me well, it helps if you explain things as we go so I feel comfortable and included. I understand everything you say, so please talk to me, not just about me. Patience is key, and I appreciate it when people don’t mind repeating things if I need to hear them again. Oh, and don’t forget the tea (and chocolate, of course)! Most importantly, I value kindness and respect above all else.

So, if you’re caring, fun, and ready to support me in living my best life, I’d love to hear from you!

Responsibilities

• Provide social, practical, and emotional support to help the person participate in daily activities and outings.
• Support the person to enjoy hobbies such as cooking and baking, crafts, swimming, bowling, and other interests described above.
• Communicate clearly and patiently, explaining things as you go to help the person feel included.
• Maintain a kind, respectful, and patient approach; be prepared to repeat information as needed.
• Support with routine tasks, companionship, and ensuring safety during activities and travel.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Full UK driving licence with own car is essential.
• Enhanced DBS disclosure required, costs covered by Dimensions.
• Open to all with the right to work in the UK; we value workforce diversity.
