Job description

Support Worker - Make a Real Difference Every Day

We are unable to provide work visa sponsorship at this time.

Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK.

A full UK driving licence is desirable due to the nature of the role and the needs of the people we support.

Are you looking for a rewarding career where every day truly matters?

We are looking for kind, reliable, and motivated Support Workers to join our friendly and supportive team. In this role, you will support adults with complex needs to live independent, fulfilling, and meaningful lives.

No two days are the same. One day you might be supporting someone to learn a new life skill, and the next you could be helping them enjoy activities in the community. Your support will help people build confidence, independence, and quality of life.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting adults with complex care needs

• Encouraging independence, dignity, and personal choice

• Providing person centred support tailored to individual needs

• Assisting with daily living tasks and personal care

• Supporting individuals to access the community and enjoy activities

• Responding calmly and safely to situations where individuals may display behaviours of distress

• Working as part of a caring and supportive team

Shift Patterns (Including Weekends)

Flexibility is essential, with a mix of day, night, and weekend shifts:

• Day Shift: 07:30 - 21:30

• Night Shift: 21:15 - 07:45

What We’re Looking For

• A caring, positive, and respectful attitude

• Good communication and teamwork skills

• Reliability and flexibility

• A genuine passion for helping others

Experience in care is desirable but not essential – we provide full training and ongoing support, so this could be the perfect opportunity to start or develop your career in care.

Why Join Us?

• A supportive and welcoming team

• Full training and development opportunities

• A rewarding role where you make a real difference

• The chance to build a meaningful career in care
