Job description

Support Worker Female

Female Support Worker - Frimley (GU16)

Full-Time or Part-Time Positions Available

£12.65 per hour

The people we support, aged in their 50s-60s, have learning disabilities and are an outgoing group. They would be happy to meet full-time Support Workers who would like to get involved in the things they enjoy, such as:

• Helping them to and from day service
• Going to the pub for lunch every Friday
• Shopping trips for clothes and items to decorate their rooms
• Refereeing darts matches (at home)
• Helping out with puzzles and quizzes
• Drawing
• Taking care of the house cat

The people we support may not all use spoken language to communicate, but they have other ways of letting you know what they want. If you have not communicated this way before, don’t worry—Dimensions provide all Support Workers with full training.

The role will include a mixture of early (7.30–15.00) and late (14.30–22.00) shifts, and Support Workers will need to do 1 sleep-in shift per week. Dimensions offer a pay rate of £12.65 per hour for this role (sleep-in shifts are paid at an allowance of £50 per shift).

As the people we support have access to a vehicle, it would be desirable for a Support Worker to hold a full UK/EU driving license.

Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010. In this context, "gender" refers to the sex legally assigned to an individual.

Support Workers may also assist with finances, meal preparation and personal care for the people we support.

Benefits for Support Workers choosing to work with Dimensions include:

• We offer 30 days of annual leave pro rata with the option to buy and sell leave
• If you refer a friend who is successfully employed, you’ll receive a £200 bonus
• We offer paid training and options to develop your career through funded accredited courses
• Bike to Work scheme and discounts on meals, shopping, entertainment, gym membership and mobile phone tariffs
• We are a values-driven organisation that puts people with learning disabilities and their families at the heart of what we do
• We care about our colleagues and have a comprehensive well-being strategy and staff listening network
• Dimensions is recognised by the Great Places to Work programme
