Job description

Hours: 40 hours per week (Permanent)
Salary: £12.88 per hour, £70.47 per sleep-in

At Heart of England Mencap, we support people with learning disabilities to live fulfilling, independent lives. Our mission is simple: to empower people to reach their full potential, enjoy the journey, and truly live with purpose. We're looking for caring, enthusiastic Support Workers who share our values and want to make a genuine difference in people's lives.

About the Role

Based at our friendly residential home in Evesham (currently a 6-bed service, expanding to 8 beds), you'll support adults with learning disabilities to live as independently as possible while enjoying the activities they love.

Your role will include:

• Supporting with personal care, medication and daily living tasks.
• Encouraging independence and choice.
• Preparing meals and supporting household routines.
• Helping customers access the local community, appointments and activities.
• Building positive relationships and promoting wellbeing.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone to enjoy horse riding, swimming, trampolining, cycling, baking, arts and crafts, shopping trips, visits to local parks or days out to working farms.

We also have a service vehicle available, so a full driving licence would be an advantage.

About the Service

Our home is conveniently located just five minutes from Evesham town centre, with excellent public transport links, nearby shops and restaurants, and on-site parking.

We’re proud to have been rated GOOD by the CQC.

Shift Pattern

This role involves a mixture of shifts, including:

• 7:00am – 3:00pm
• 2:30pm – 10:00pm
• Sleep-in shifts available 10:00pm, paid at £70.47 per sleep-in.

About You

Previous care experience is preferred. We're looking for people with the right values, compassion and commitment—because great care comes from the heart.

What We Offer

As well as a rewarding career where you can make a real difference, you'll receive:

• Comprehensive training and career development opportunities
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Employee Assistance Programme and Mental Health First Aiders
• High street and online retailer discounts
• Refer a Friend bonus scheme
• Long service awards
• Life assurance
• Staff recognition awards

If you're ready to build a rewarding career with an organisation that values its people as much as the people it supports, we’d love to hear from you.
