Job description

As a Female Support Worker in our new homecare service in Bethesda and Bangor, Gwynedd, you’ll help make the everyday remarkable for the people we support.

We are dedicated to supporting adults to live a fulfilled and enriched life in the community. As a Female Support Worker, you can play a vital role in this.

Location: Homecare across Bethesda area and Bangor, Gwynedd

Hours: We have both part-time (minimum 10 hours per week) and full-time hours (maximum 37 hours per week). Please speak to us about the hours you are looking to do. Your shift pattern will include weekends but no sleep-ins. Typical shifts are:

What you’ll be doing:

This is a brand-new service for Cartrefi, so you’ll be joining us at an exciting time to really help us shape this new caring support service.

In this role, you’ll actively support individuals in making their own choices and set their own goals — whether it’s everyday decisions like what to wear, eat, or do, or something bigger such as where to live, how to manage their finances, or where to go on holiday.

As a trusted Female Support Worker, you'll empower people to follow through on these choices, including taking part in structured activities that build confidence and develop new skills. You’ll also offer practical support to help them meet responsibilities like paying bills, maintaining their homes, being good neighbors, and staying connected with friends and family.

Your goal is to make every day remarkable through enhancing well-being and focusing on the small, meaningful moments that bring joy and purpose. By offering this kind of person-centered support every day, this truly is a fun and rewarding role for the right person.

Who we are looking for:

No experience required, as full training is provided. We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have patience and empathy
• Can support a person with their intimate personal care with respect and dignity
• Have strong communication and teamwork skills
• Are able to speak on behalf of others as well as to a range of professional people
• Have good written skills and the ability to record events with empathy and meaning
• Have a full driving license - essential for transporting individuals to appointments and activities
• Have access to your own car and are happy to use this for transporting people we support to and from activities, as well as obtaining business insurance for your vehicle for which we pay 45p per mile to cover this
• Have Welsh language skills (preferred), so you can effectively communicate with Welsh-speaking service users and meet their cultural and linguistic needs

Our Benefits

• 25 days annual leave rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service with the option to buy and sell leave
• Benevolent Fund, confidential financial wellbeing resource available to our colleagues
