Ready to take the next step in your career in care?

We are recruiting experienced Senior Support Workers in Hull who are confident supporting individuals with complex needs and behaviours that challenge.

This is a permanent position offering stability, consistent contracted hours and a genuine opportunity to progress into leadership and management.

This is not agency work and not temporary work.

You will join a permanent care team where your experience will make a real difference to both the people you support and the colleagues working alongside you.

Hours & Pay

• 36 hours per week - approximately £28,080 per year
• 48 hours per week - approximately £37,440 per year

Pay is £15.00 per hour and you will be employed on a permanent contract.

The Role

As a Senior Support Worker, you will combine hands-on care with additional responsibility during shifts.

You will support and guide other Support Workers, promote safe and consistent practice and provide calm leadership when individuals experience behavioural escalation.

The role may involve supporting complex care packages operating at 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1 staffing levels.

You will help ensure that care plans, behavioural strategies, risk assessments and agreed support approaches are followed consistently.

Your responsibilities will include supporting colleagues during shifts, recognising behavioural changes and early warning signs, implementing preventative and de-escalation strategies and providing leadership during challenging incidents.

You will also help promote least restrictive practice, ensure incidents and safeguarding concerns are recorded appropriately, maintain high standards of care documentation and support new team members through shadowing and competency development.

Where required, you will elevate changes in risk or presentation to senior management or clinical teams.

Who We're Looking For

This is a senior position, so previous experience within care is essential.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience of complex care, behaviours that challenge, physical aggression, behavioural escalation, Positive Behaviour Support, safeguarding, DoLS, behavioural risk assessments, de-escalation and incident management.

Experience supporting or supervising other care workers is highly desirable.

Experience working within 3:1, 4:1 or 5:1 complex care packages would also be advantageous.

Previous experience of appropriate physical intervention or restraint within a care environment is required.

Training

DMI / Dynamis training is highly desirable.

Current or recent PMVA or equivalent recognised physical intervention training may also be considered, subject to competency review and completion of any required organisation-specific training.

A full UK driving licence is preferred.

We want this to be more than simply your next job. We want it to be the next stage of your career.

You will have access to funded qualifications and structured development opportunities, with progression available through NVQ Levels 1-5.

Your potential career pathway could be:

• Senior Support Worker → Team Leader → Deputy Manager → Service Manager → Registered Manager
• Level 5 Leadership & Management can also help put you on the pathway towards becoming a Registered Manager.

You bring the experience. We help build the pathway.

What You'll Get

• £15.00 per hour
• 36 or 48 contracted hours per week
• Up to £37,440 annual equivalent
