Job description

Dimensions have some exciting new opportunities for a Full-time Support Worker to join our team in Eastleigh (SO50).

As a Support Worker with Dimensions, you will make a real difference in someone’s life, every day. You will also be joining one of the very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme.

But don’t just take our word for it; here is what some of our Support Workers have said about their roles within Dimensions:

“I feel as though Dimensions has put its faith in me.”

“I feel tremendously valued by the people I support, and I can tell by their smiles when they see me that I’ve made them feel fulfilled.”

Whether you have worked in healthcare, mental health, autism, with behaviours of distress, or have a background in retail, cleaning, or coaching, this could be the career for you. Dimensions recruits based on values, not previous experience.

What will you be doing?

• Supporting people to live the lives they want and enjoy activities such as walking, bowling, sports, or going for lunch.
• Helping people learn the skills they need to live the life they choose.
• Supporting with personal care.
• Assisting with shopping, housework, including cleaning and laundry.
• Supporting with medication management.

Your rewards:

• 30 days of annual leave entitlement (including bank holidays), pro-rata, rising to a maximum of 35 days.
• Pension scheme, including a money purchase scheme with both employee and employer contributions.
• Discounts and cashback on high street and online shopping through Rewarding Dimensions.
• Free access to the Employee Assistance Programme with a 24/7 helpline for advice and support, also available to partners and immediate family.
• Recognition and financial bonuses every five years through our Long Service Awards.
• Opportunity to purchase Simply Health, a discounted health and dental cover scheme.
• Death in service payment for a nominated beneficiary under Life Assurance.
• Bike to work scheme and season ticket loans.
• £500 for referring a friend through our recommend a friend scheme.
• 50% contribution towards the cost of learning to drive, subject to operational and staffing criteria.

All we need from you is that you share our company values (found on our website).

• An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this role; the cost will be covered by Dimensions.
• We welcome applications from everyone and value diversity in our workforce.
• As Disability Confident Leaders, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy. Dimensions has been awarded this symbol by Jobcentre Plus to recognize our commitment to the employment, retention, training, and career development of disabled employees.
• We now have British Sign Language (BSL) translated videos for all our recruitment communications.
