About the role

We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. As a support worker with us you'll be helping people to gain more independence in their daily lives, whilst working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people.

Our ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) service in Norris Green, Liverpool, is a welcoming and friendly environment. You’ll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, assisting with personal care, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising and doing activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in local bars and pubs, and the next you could be unwinding with them playing video games, watching films or going to the cinema.

This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone's life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.

What we’re looking for

We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This service requires our Support Workers to be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, with experience following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice, and experience working with individuals requiring enhanced support due to an acquired brain injury.

Why choose us?

You don’t need prior experience to be a fantastic Support Worker. You need a passion for enhancing the quality of life for the people we support, a desire to learn and a genuine caring attitude. We embrace people’s differences and encourage you to Be You. If you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can provide the skills and development opportunities to build a great career.

We encourage staff to Grow Together through our training programme, starting at induction and continuing through your career, with opportunities for promotion and progression as well as job security in a sector-leading organisation.

We have a fantastic range of benefits for our staff and offer sector-leading career progression, so apply today to make a real difference in the lives of the people we’re supporting.
