Are you someone who leads with compassion, builds meaningful connections easily, and finds joy in making everyday moments count? If you’re a confident driver looking to commit just one weekday and two Saturdays a month to something truly rewarding, this could be the role you’ve been looking for.

About the Role

We’re on the lookout for a caring, down‑to‑earth Support Worker to assist a sociable and independent client with muscular dystrophy — both at home and out in the community.

Here’s what he says about the kind of support he’s looking for:

“I’m all about getting out and making the most of life — whether that’s catching a gig, flying my drone, enjoying a pint at the pub, or watching the latest blockbuster. I need someone reliable, friendly, and up for joining in. Flexibility is key... especially when the music calls.”

What you’ll be working

• Weekdays - 8am - 6pm
• Flexibility to work weekend shifts if needed - 11am - 9pm (this may vary depending on clients weekend plans)

What we’re looking for

• You’re confident behind the wheel and hold a full UK driving licence, ready to hit the road for spontaneous pub trips, drone adventures, or live concerts.
• You’ve got hands‑on care experience, and you understand what it means to be there when it matters most.
• Your nature is gentle, your patience long, and your communication clear—someone who connects with compassion and listens with intent.
• You’re flexible and reliable, ready to adapt when plans shift, and you carry your sense of humour with you even on the busiest of days.
• NVQ level 3 or above

What to look forward to

• £14.00 per hour
• Full specialist training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support from the Care Manager provided
• Accrued holiday pay
• Regular consistent work with rolling rotas
• Flexible zero hours contract
• Join the Active Learning Hub and benefit from a wide range of e‑learning and face‑to‑face training and development opportunities
• A Nest Personal Pension account
• We recognise outstanding Active Behaviours via the Active Awards programme
• Refer a Friend Scheme and earn yourself up to £1,500 by recommending someone you know
• …and, of course, the support and guidance of our qualified clinical and business leadership teams so that you can really develop your career with Active Care Group
