Make a Real Difference Every Weekend

We’re looking for an experienced Weekend Support Worker to join our dedicated team in Bilston. You’ll be supporting six gentlemen with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, and epilepsy – helping them live full, independent lives in a safe and structured environment.

Who Will You Be Supporting?

Each gentleman lives in his own flat and enjoys an active lifestyle. You’ll provide 1:1 support tailored to their individual needs and interests:

• Active and independent – walking, gardening, and weekly swimming
• Passionate about life – cinema, shopping, cooking, and cleaning with support
• Travel enthusiasts – 2–3 holidays a year, especially log cabins with hot tubs
• Social and fun-loving – enjoy meeting people, social activities, and ‘80s dance music
• Routine-driven – clear routines help manage anxieties and promote stability
• Family-oriented – regular visits to mum every fortnight

You’ll also provide emotional reassurance during moments of distress. Full Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training is provided.

What Will You Be Doing?

Your role will be varied, meaningful, and rewarding:

• Supporting daily living – personal care, cooking, cleaning, and skill-building
• Community engagement – 2:1 support on outings such as swimming, cinema, and holidays
• Behavioural support – follow PBS plans and use SCIP-r training to manage behaviours
• Proactive problem-solving – identify and respond to triggers calmly and consistently
• Encouragement and motivation – build trust and confidence, promoting independence

Every Saturday: 07:00am – 21:30pm

Position 2 – 12.5 Hours
Every Sunday: 08:30am – 21:30pm

We are happy to offer both shifts (27 hours) for applicants comfortable working every weekend. Additional overtime is available supporting other gentlemen in the house.

What Makes You a Great Fit?

We’re looking for someone who is calm, reliable, and professional – with a genuine passion for helping others:

• Calm and resilient – able to stay composed under pressure
• Structured and detail-oriented – follows support plans precisely
• Reliable and punctual – provides consistent, dependable care
• Team player – collaborates well and acts with confidence
• Driver – manual licence required for community trips using house vehicles
