Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way

You will be supporting people in their own homes in Leicester. The people we support enjoy a range of activities, both at home and out in the community—such as gaming, going for walks, shopping, visiting the theatre or cinema, playing sports, and going on day trips. In this role, you’ll encourage independence and build meaningful connections with each person. You’ll need to be positive, proactive, and have a good sense of humour, as well as the ability to inspire them to take part and stay engaged in activities. You will be available to work a variety of shifts, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and alternate weekends.

"Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010".

We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can’t teach you, is the stuff that comes from within:

That buzz you get when you celebrate someone’s wins – big or small.

That natural sense of wanting to make someone’s day brighter.

That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step.

In essence, that’s what we are looking for from you.

What does it mean to be a support worker?

Think about your daily routine and what matters to you. If you needed support to keep your day the way you like it, what would be important to you?

In this role, you will:

• Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
• Adjust your approach to meet people’s needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
• Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.

People are at the heart of everything we do and as a support worker you will embody our core values by:

Working together

• Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with
• Communicating openly and building trust.
• Helping each other to provide the best support possible.
• Being dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives.
• Whether the day was easy or tough, taking responsibility for your actions and focusing on what matters most to those who you support.

Having courage

• Being open to new ideas and approaches.
• Using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others.
• Providing the most effective and adaptable support possible.

What benefits will I have?

We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:

• Buy and sell annual leave – transfer windows open twice a year.
• Wagestream – an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
• Vivup – spread the cost of home and electronics items, or a bike to cycle to work through fixed salary reductions throughout the year.
• Simply Health- Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians, and access to many more health benefits.
• Blue light card– we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants
• Care Friends - our employee referral and reward app. You’ll receive points which can be exchanged for extra money.
• Pension and Life Assurance - you’ll be enrolled into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme.
