The Opportunity

We are looking for an enthusiastic, reliable, caring and compassionate Support Worker to join our friendly and motivated team. No prior experience is required — we will provide full training and ongoing support. All you need is a positive, can-do attitude and a genuine desire to make a difference.

Our Ideal Support Worker

• Reliable, friendly and caring
• Compassionate and attentive to individual needs
• Able to support activities and hobbies within the home
• Motivated to inspire and encourage residents to achieve more
• A driver is helpful for outings, but not essential — non-drivers are very welcome
