About The Company

Support Worker – Alderbury Bungalow (Salutem Care and Education)

At Alderbury Bungalow, we support five individuals in their home with 24-hour care, 7 days a week. Our team provides person-centred support with day-to-day living—everything from personal care to helping people enjoy life in the community, such as coffee trips, shopping, local walks and weekly activities.

Set in a quiet part of Alderbury village, Alderbury Bungalow is a warm, supportive environment where the people we support have individual and sometimes complex needs.

What we’re looking for

• A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine commitment to person-centred care
• Someone who is outgoing, respectful and dependable
• Good communication skills and a willingness to learn
• Experience in care is helpful, but not essential—we provide training and ongoing support

Driving

A full UK driving licence is preferred but not essential, as there is public transport available six days a week.
