Job description

Support Worker – Manchester WA15/OL7

£14.50 per hour | £27,144 – £36,192 per year | Permanent

NO SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE

Looking for more than just your next Support Worker job?

We are recruiting passionate and committed Support Workers in Manchester who want the security of permanent employment, consistent contracted hours and a genuine opportunity to build a long-term career within care.

This is not agency work and this is not temporary work.

You will be joining a permanent team with structured training, development and a clear pathway for progression.

Hours & Pay

£14.50 per hour.

• 36 hours per week – approximately £27,144 per year
• 48 hours per week – approximately £36,192 per year

This is a permanent contracted position, giving you greater stability and consistency than temporary or agency work.

More Than a Support Worker Role

We want to invest in people who want to develop.

Whether your ambition is to become a Senior Support Worker, Team Leader, Deputy Manager or eventually a Registered Manager, we want to help you build that pathway.

You will have access to funded qualifications from NVQ Level 1 through to Level 5, supporting your development throughout your career.

Your progression could look like:

Support Worker → Senior Support Worker → Team Leader → Deputy Manager → Registered Manager

Your Level 5 Leadership & Management qualification can also be funded, helping you progress towards a future Registered Manager position.

You bring the ambition. We help provide the pathway.

Who We're Looking For

We would love to hear from people with experience in supported living, complex care, mental health, learning disabilities, autism, residential care, challenging behaviours or Positive Behaviour Support.

A full UK driving licence is preferred due to the nature of some services.

We would also ideally like applicants who already hold in-date PMVA, restraint or relevant behaviour-management training.

Don't currently have the required training? Don't let that stop you applying.

We have access to training support and can help suitable candidates develop the skills and training required for the role.

What You'll Get

• £14.50 per hour with 36 or 48 contracted hours
• Permanent employment with consistent contracted hours
• Funded NVQ qualifications from Level 1 through to Level 5
• Ongoing training and development
• Leadership and management progression opportunities
• A genuine long-term career within care

Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. No sponsorship is available for this position.

If you're looking for a Support Worker position where your career can develop alongside the people you support, we'd love to hear from you.
