Are you passionate about making a difference in people's lives? Do you thrive in a role where every day brings new challenges and rewards?

We're working with a trusted local care provider delivering high-quality, person‑centred support to adults with complex and varying needs across Sunderland, Washington, Hetton and Houghton.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Support Worker, you'll be part of a team providing consistent, person‑centred care — enabling people to make choices, build confidence and live fulfilling lives. You'll be supporting individuals with daily routines, developing life skills and promoting independence through Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) approaches. You may also be required to undertake PMVA or BAWA training to safely and effectively support individuals where physical intervention may be necessary.

What We're Looking For

• Embody values of dignity, respect, compassion and professionalism
• Commit to delivering outstanding care with empathy and understanding
• Work flexibly across a set rota pattern of 3 x 12‑hour shifts (8am‑8pm) per week
• Be a reliable team player with a positive, can‑do attitude
• Experience in social care is welcome but not essential — full training is provided
• Current training in areas such as Medication Handling, Moving & Assisting, or First Aid would be advantageous
• This role does not include waking night shifts

What's in It for You

• Contract until at least May 2026 – with strong potential for extension
• Full‑time positions (37 hours per week)
• Comprehensive training and career development opportunities
• A structured rota pattern including days, evenings, weekends and bank holidays
• A rewarding, supportive and inclusive working culture

What You'll Need

• Two satisfactory references
• Enhanced Adult DBS (on the Update Service or completed within the last 12 months)
• Right to Work documentation (offers subject to DBS clearance; where a valid DBS is not available, offers may be withdrawn)

💬 Apply Now! If you're ready to make a real difference and join a supportive organisation that truly values its people, we'd love to hear from you. 📅 Apply today and start your journey supporting others to live happy, independent lives.
