Job description

🌟 Join Our Person-Centred Support Team in Oldham

Empowering individuals to live life their way.

Are you a caring, compassionate person looking for a rewarding career where you can make a real difference every day? At Active Care in the Home, we’re proud to be part of one of the UK’s leading providers of complex care – and right now, we’re looking for a dedicated Support Worker to join our client’s well-established support team.

Meet Our Client

“I’m a 33-year-old guy living with a spinal cord injury. I’m really into cars and computers — especially the technical side of things. I love music, movies, and a good conversation, whether that’s a deep chat or a laugh and a bit of banter!”

I have an easy-going routine and a fantastic team who know me well — they’ll support you as you settle in. I enjoy getting out for drives, exploring new places with great views, and spending time with my collection of remote-controlled cars.

I’m looking for someone reliable, positive, and confident behind the wheel — someone who shares my interests and can help me live life my way.

The Role

As Support Worker, you’ll play a key role in providing high-quality, person-centred care in our client’s own home.

Every day is different — from supporting with personal care, medication, and clinical tasks, to joining our client on trips out in the community.

Key Responsibilities

• Personal care
• Medication support
• Moving and handling
• Light domestic duties
• No previous experience? No problem! We provide full training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support to help you succeed.

Working Hours

• Full-time and part-time options available
• Mix of days (8am–8pm) and wake nights (8pm–8am) with occasional sleep-ins
• Flexibility is key to supporting the client’s lifestyle

What We’re Looking For

• A compassionate, reliable, and proactive individual
• Confident driver (essential – you’ll be driving the client’s vehicle)
• Experience in care; spinal cord injury knowledge is a plus but not essential
• Great communication and teamwork skills
• Passion for empowering others to live independently

What You’ll Get in Return

• Up to £12.75 per hour (depending on experience and qualifications)
• NEST pension
• Ongoing clinical and professional development support
• Active Awards Programme – recognising and celebrating your success
• Refer-a-Friend Bonus – earn up to £1,500!
• A supportive, friendly environment where you’re genuinely valued

Why Join Us?

At Active Care in the Home, we believe care should be as individual as the person receiving it. You’ll be part of a close-knit team that truly makes a difference — helping our client live life to the fullest, every single day.

Whether you’re already experienced or just starting your journey in care, we’ll support you every step of the way. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer and celebrate diversity in all its forms.

Ready to make a real impact? Apply today and start your journey with Active Care Group — where compassion, connection, and person-centred care come first.
