We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Female* / Male* 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 gain more independence in their daily lives, working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people!

Our supported living service in Wirral is a welcoming and friendly environment where no two days are 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 might be out with the people we support in local bars and pubs; another day, you could be unwinding with them playing video games, watching films, or going to the cinema.

This is an amazing role for someone looking to make a real difference in someone's life and help them grow in confidence and independence to meet their goals, whether that's cooking dinner independently or going on holiday.

We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. Support Workers should hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible, and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice, and experience working with individuals requiring enhanced support, including behaviors of distress, mental health conditions, autism, forensic histories, and trauma.

Why choose us?

We embrace people’s differences and encourage you to Be You. As long as you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can provide 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 continuing throughout your career, with opportunities for promotion, progression, and job security in a sector-leading organisation.
