Location: Liverpool, England
Support Worker – Autism & Learning Disabilities ¦ Halton, Liverpool

At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We’re looking for passionate and caring Support Workers to join our specialist home in Halton, Liverpool.

Our Kildare home is a three-bedroom adults’ home in Hale Village, Halton, with easy access to local parks, green spaces and village amenities. The people who live at Kildare each have their own unique personalities, interests and ways of communicating. They enjoy spending time in the garden, going on drives around the local area, trains, bowling and visiting the arcade.

One person living at Kildare has cerebral palsy and requires consistent support. Our experienced team provides personalised, person-centred support that promotes independence, choice and wellbeing, ensuring everyone can take part in the activities they enjoy and live life in the way that suits them best.

As a Support Worker, you will be a key part of their day-to-day support team, actively valuing and amplifying what matters to them, empowering their communication and independence, planning fulfilling activities. You will also keep records of their needs, support provided and progress.

No two days are the same, you could be supporting someone to settle into their new home, develop independence and life skills, enjoy activities they love, or achieve important milestones. You’ll be part of a supportive team creating a safe, positive, and empowering environment where people can truly thrive.

You will help to create a warm, stimulating environment whilst working a mix of day shifts and sleeps to meet individual needs.

You’ll do more than provide care – you’ll be a mentor, advocate, and source of encouragement, helping the people you support to achieve the best outcomes.

What we’re looking for:

• Passion for person-centred support.
• Resilience and strong teamwork skills.
• Willingness to learn and grow.
• Full UK driving licence is desirable.
• Care experience is helpful but not essential – full training and support will be provided.
