At Dimensions, you'll find more than a job - You'll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated. Together, we make a real difference - for the people we support and for you.

Support Worker

• Full time - 37.5 hours per week
• £13.45 per hour
• Norton Subcourse, NR14 6RS
• Job type: Permanent
• Working pattern: On-site

Full UK manual driving licence and own car essential.

We are looking for a caring, reliable and enthusiastic Support Worker to join our team supporting two gentlemen in their home. The gentlemen we support enjoy leading active and fulfilling lives and love spending time out in their local community. Whether it's swimming, visiting the zoo, going for countryside walks, spending time with family, enjoying picnics or relaxing in the hot tub at home, you'll play an important role in supporting them to do the things they enjoy and achieve the outcomes that matter to them.

You'll provide personalised support that promotes choice, independence and wellbeing. This is a hands on role where you'll support with personal care, medication, preparing meals and daily living tasks, while encouraging the people we support to develop skills and maintain as much independence as possible. One of the gentlemen uses a wheelchair full-time, so you'll need to be comfortable supporting him to access the community, including pushing a wheelchair for longer distances.

Meal preparation is an important part of this role. The people we support receive weekly HelloFresh deliveries, so you'll need to be confident preparing home cooked meals using fresh ingredients and supporting them to maintain healthy lifestyles.

This home includes both shared and lone working, so you'll need to be able to work confidently on your own as well as part of a supportive team. This home operates a two-week rolling rota, with shifts typically running from 9:00am to 10:00pm, including 1-2 sleep-ins per week and alternate weekends.

• Is comfortable providing full personal care and medication support.
• Can work independently during lone-working shifts.
• Enjoys being active and supporting people in the community.
• Has excellent communication skills and a patient, person-centred approach.

Most importantly, you will be someone who shares our values and is passionate about supporting people to independent lives. The role requires flexibility, reliability, and a willingness to learn, and we will provide all the training and support you need to succeed.
