Job description

About The Role

Location: The Limes - Denaby Main

The Limes is a specialist residential service, offering education and care for up to 52 weeks per year for adults aged 18 to 25.

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 our young people develop the skills to attend an educational setting as well as learn how to develop greater independence skills in their day to day lives. Your work will be enriching as well as fun! No two days will be the same and you will be part of creating memories for the people we support.

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

Your rota will be 4 days working, 2 days off - this includes 2 morning shifts (07:15 – 16:00) and 2 afternoon shifts (15:00 – 21:30) and includes weekend work.

About You

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

We value relevant experience and qualifications, but they aren't essential for the role. Above all, we are looking for someone who identifies with our core values of putting people first, being passionate about quality, prioritising safety and being progress focused.

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.
