Job description

At CrossReach, caring isn’t just what we do – it’s who we are. We’re here to walk alongside people with learning disabilities, helping them live with greater independence, confidence, and joy. And now, we’re looking for someone just like you to join our team.

As a Support Worker, you won’t just be making cups of tea or doing the odd bit of shopping (though there’ll be some of that too!) – you’ll be building real, lasting relationships. You’ll be someone our service users can trust, rely on, and share life with. Your role will involve helping someone attend college courses, supporting them through daily routines, and more—making it as varied as it is rewarding.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team but also confident enough to work independently when needed. You’ll take the lead as a key worker, develop personalized support plans, and ensure each individual receives compassionate, practical care.

Who we’re looking for:
You’re calm, caring, and great with people. Whether you’re experienced in care or looking to start your journey, what matters most is your heart for helping others. A driver’s license would be a plus, as many of our service users enjoy outings.

What’s in it for you?

• A role with purpose and meaning
• Ongoing training and development opportunities (SVQ Level 3 encouraged!)
• Supportive colleagues who value your contribution
• The chance to work in an organization where Christian values underpin everything we do, and where everyone is respected and welcomed

You’ll need to be a member of the PVG Scheme and registered (or eligible to register) with the SSSC. Most importantly, you should treat every person with dignity and respect.
