Job description

Looking for a role offering day and night shifts? Would you love to make a real difference by supporting someone with complex health needs in the comfort of their own home?

Active Assistance – Specialist Complex Care at Home Across the UK

For over 30 years, we’ve been providing compassionate, person-centred care that makes a meaningful difference to individuals and their families across England. At Active Assistance, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live life their way. Our focus is on providing tailored, one-to-one support that promotes independence, dignity and quality of life in the place our clients call home.

We’re looking for a Female Support Worker to join our dedicated team, supporting our client in her own home in Redditch. You’ll work closely with one individual, getting to know her needs, preferences and routines while providing thoughtful, personalised support. You’ll be part of a consistent care team, with regular weekly shifts and rotas planned in advance to help you organise your time. Although this is a flexible zero-hours contract, the package offers ongoing work with a consistent client and a typically stable working pattern. If you’re caring, reliable and passionate about helping someone live as independently and comfortably as possible, this could be the rewarding opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Meet the client:

Our client is a warm, friendly lady who lives in a peaceful area of Redditch with her son, a polite young man with autism, and their two much-loved cats. She is living with a spinal cord injury and requires support with her daily care, including tracheostomy and ventilator support, Type 2 diabetes, personal care and safe moving and handling. Her care team plays an important role in helping her remain comfortable, safe and independent at home. She uses a ceiling hoist for all transfers between her bed and chair, with slide sheets used for repositioning in bed, in line with her care plan and current risk assessments. She is able to feed herself independently and simply needs support workers to prepare and position her meals, drinks and cutlery within easy reach. Once everything is set up, she is happy to enjoy her meal independently. Outside of her care needs, she loves gardening and enjoys having a supportive team around her. She values honesty, openness, respect and kindness, and believes strongly in working together as a team. We're looking for someone who shares these values, is compassionate and reliable, and understands the importance of building a genuine, respectful relationship while supporting her to live life on her own terms.

When you'll be working:

Fully flexible for Day Shifts & Night Shifts 8am - 8pm & 8pm - 8am Bank hours

What you'll be doing:

This role is to support our female client with a spinal cord injury and complex health needs in her own home. This will involve supporting with personal care, medication, moving and handling and managing clinical equipment. No previous experience required as full training, shadow shifts and ongoing support will be provided.

Due to the location of the clients home a driver is essential for this role.

What you'll have:

• Kind and caring nature
• Flexibility & reliability
• Good communication skills

What to look forward to:

• Up to £13.00 per hour (increasing to £13.50 after probation)
• Flexible zero hour contract
• An additional 14.07% holiday pay on every hour worked.
• Full specialist training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support from your Care Manager
• Access to the Active Learning Hub – e-learning & in-person development
• Holiday pay, regular monthly rotas, and a Nest pension
• Be recognised through our Active Awards programme
• Refer a friend and earn up to £1,500
• A chance to build a meaningful career with the backing of a leading clinical and business team

At Active Care Group, we want everyone to feel welcome and supported. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment or interview process, just let us know and we’ll be very happy to discuss this with you.
