Floating Support Worker – Hounslow, New southgate & Edgware
£13.78 per hour
Full & Part-Time Hours based contracts available

Are you someone who thrives on variety, enjoys meeting new people, and wants a role where no two days are the same?

As a Floating Support Worker, you’ll have the opportunity to work across different teams and homes in Hounslow, New Southgate, Edgware and surrounding areas. Floating Support Workers provide tailored support to people with diverse needs – from those living independently to individuals who require help with personal care and complex healthcare.

Dimensions is a leading, national, not-for-profit provider of support to adults with learning disabilities and autism. Our Floating Support Workers provide the highest levels of person-centred support, ensuring the people we support live the lives they want to lead.

This is a role where your adaptability and compassion truly shine. You’ll be part of a dedicated network of colleagues, stepping in where you’re most needed and making a real difference to people’s lives. Whether it’s offering daily support, encouraging independence, or simply being a reassuring presence, your work will matter every single day.

We can offer either full or part-time contracts to suit your needs. Floating Support Workers are supported by the Senior Resource Allocation Manager as well as the management teams within the homes of the people we support.

In this role, no two days are the same as you will be guided by the people we support, and their support plans. The types of things you will get involved with will include:

• Building meaningful relationships with the people we support and those in their lives.
• Doing the things that they enjoy both at home & out and about.
• Helping them maintain their homes.
• Empowering their independence.
• Assisting with finances, meal preparation and personal care.

The people we support are happy to meet Floating Support Workers who have not done this type of role before as Dimensions provide all Support Workers with full training. All training is paid at your standard hourly rate, we also offer the opportunity to undertake diplomas and offer career progression.

Some of the people we support would like you to know that they don’t use words to communicate, and some of them use wheelchairs to mobilise. Any specialist training related to this will be covered when you join us.

As a Floating Support Worker, you must be happy to:

• Work within an hour commute from your home address (this can be discussed in detail at point of interview).
• Support people with diverse needs, including personal care & healthcare related needs.
• Be flexible in the shifts you can work, typically; 7:00–14:00 / 14:00–22:00 (sleep-ins may be required) although some homes may have other shifts available.
• Have the availability to work on alternate weekends
