Make a Real Difference Every Day

Eleven 11 Recruitment is recruiting on behalf of our client for an experienced Male Support Worker to join a specialist Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) service in Hildenborough.

If you're an experienced Support Worker looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference in people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.

Our client is committed to delivering outstanding, person-centred support and is looking for compassionate, dedicated individuals who share their values and passion for helping people achieve greater independence and live fulfilling lives.

About the Role

This specialist service supports five men with learning disabilities, autism, communication needs and behaviours of concern.

This is a rewarding but highly specialist position where your experience, approach and values will have a direct impact on the people you support.

Due to the rural location of the service, applicants must have access to transport, such as a car or motorbike. A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential.

Previous experience supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and behaviours of concern within a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) environment is essential.

You’ll understand that behaviour is a form of communication and be confident using proactive, person-centred approaches that promote dignity, independence and positive outcomes. You’ll appreciate the importance of consistency and recognise that the relationships you build can significantly improve a person's confidence, wellbeing and overall quality of life.

The people you support deserve opportunities to develop new skills, access their local community and make meaningful choices. You’ll play a key role in helping them achieve this every day.

• Supporting people to live independently while promoting choice, dignity and respect.
• Delivering person-centred support tailored to individual needs and aspirations.
• Assisting with daily living tasks including cooking, shopping, managing finances and maintaining a safe home environment.
• Providing personal care where required.
• Using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches to understand and respond to behaviours of concern.
• Encouraging community participation, hobbies, interests and meaningful relationships.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues, families and healthcare professionals to achieve positive outcomes.
• Supporting individuals to achieve their personal goals and live fulfilling lives.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and behaviours of concern.
• Knowledgeable and confident using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches.
• Calm, patient and emotionally resilient.
• Able to build positive, trusting relationships.
• Passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care.
• Committed to improving the lives of the people they support.
• A strong team player with excellent communication skills.

What Our Client Offers

• Paid Enhanced DBS check.
• Flexible working opportunities.
• Paid annual leave (pro rata).
• Award-winning training and ongoing professional development.
• Opportunities to gain recognised Health & Social Care qualifications.
• Excellent career progression opportunities.
