About the role

As a Support Worker at The Maples, you'll be supporting five people to live active, fulfilling lives in a warm and welcoming home. This role involves providing close, personal and dignified support, including assistance with personal care such as showering and toileting. Four of the people you support use wheelchairs and slings, so you'll be confident using mobility equipment and have a reasonable level of fitness to help people get out and about safely.

The people we support love to stay active and try new things. From trips to Longleat and swimming sessions, to gardening club, exercise groups, theatre visits, lunches out and trips to the pub, you'll play a key role in encouraging and enabling experiences that bring joy and connection. You'll also help people keep in touch with friends and family, and come up with fun new ideas together.

You'll work 7.5-hour shifts (7am-2.30pm or 2.30pm-10pm), within a supportive team environment. A positive, can-do attitude is essential, along with flexibility and a genuine desire to support people to live life their way.

With a great location close to the park and high street, and a lively, person-centred atmosphere, this is a rewarding role where your support truly matters every day.

About you

You don't need previous experience to become a great Support Worker - what matters most is your attitude. We're looking for people who are patient, positive, kind and genuinely motivated to help others live well. If you're someone who listens, encourages independence, enjoys being part of an active team and isn't afraid of getting stuck in, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll be someone who values dignity, choice and inclusion, and who brings calmness, resilience and creativity to your work - whether that's helping with personal care, supporting communication, joining someone for a favourite activity, or enabling someone to feel safe and confident throughout your day.
