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 while working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people.

Our residential service in Middlesbrough is a welcoming and friendly environment and you can be sure that no two days will be the same! 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 lots of activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in the local community, the next you could be unwinding with them playing 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 that be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.

We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should hold a full UK driving licence, be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice as well as experience working with individuals with autism, acquired brain injury, complex individuals with mental health needs, traumatic backgrounds and challenging behaviours.

Why choose us?

You don’t need to have experience to be a fantastic Support Worker. What you need is 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 yourself, and so long as you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career.

We encourage our staff to grow together through our excellent training programme, starting at induction and following you through your career, with opportunity 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 we offer sector‑leading career progression, so don't hesitate to apply today and make a real difference to the lives of the people we’re supporting!
