About The Role

Location: King Street, Thorne

If you're passionate about supporting people to live their best lives, this is your opportunity to join a values-driven organisation where your work truly matters.

At Hesley Group, we put people first and recognise the hard work and dedication of all our colleagues. We're committed to always being the best we can be, setting high standards and striving for excellence in everything we do. You don't need any experience – just the right values.

As a Support Worker you would support adults with autism, learning disabilities and intensive specialist support needs with their daily routines, supporting them to live life to their full potential and access experiences and activities. We are seeking candidates who want to be involved and support these activities. If you have a keen interest in one even better!

This is more than just a job - it is a chance to build a meaningful connection and support someone to live life to the fullest.

Hours of work - 2100-0730 night shifts.

Due to personal care needs we are looking for 2 female candidates to cover this role over a 9 month period.

About You

We are looking for Support Workers who have a 'can do' attitude, with a calm and empathetic nature.

We are committed to building a stable and sustainable workforce to ensure that we provide the best continuity of care for the people we support. While we welcome applications from all candidates, some roles may require candidates to have the right to work in the UK without restrictions due to the nature of the service and staffing requirements. These roles may be prioritised for those with unrestricted right to work in the UK and due to our operational needs at the time.
