Job description

What You’ll Be Doing

Looking to top up your income while making a real difference in someone’s life?

If you’re thoughtful, dependable, and believe that everyone deserves to live a life that makes sense to them, then you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

We’re seeking Relief Support Workers who want to make someone’s day better, brighter, and more connected. Whether you’ve done this kind of work before or are new to it, what matters most is your attitude, your values, and your willingness to learn.

Your day might begin by supporting someone with their morning routine helping them get showered, dressed, and ready for the day. Then, from visiting local cafés to exploring historical sites, to enjoying a quiet day at home with hobbies or TV, your role is to support people in the way that suits them best. Some people may need support taking medication or getting to appointments we’ll provide full training so you feel confident and capable in everything you do. You’ll be a helping hand, a friendly presence, and a source of encouragement.

Meet

• John and Josephine

Let us introduce you to two of the amazing people you may support :

John is 40 and lives in his own flat in a shared house in Wrexham. He’s curious and full of energy, with a love for history and places like Erddig Hall, Chirk Castle, and Blists Hill. John swims weekly, enjoys keeping his flat tidy, and loves discovering new places. He also works on Fridays and would like a Support Worker who can accompany him and cheer him on.

Josephine loves crafts, gardening, people-watching from a sunny bench, and going for a coffee at her favourite local spots. YouTube is her go-to for laughs and inspiration, and she’s known for her great sense of humour and quick wit. She prefers outings at a calmer pace a Support Worker who’s patient and happy to go with the flow would be perfect for her.

Both John and Josephine have mobility cars , so a UK manual driving licence is a must.
