Job description

Support Worker - Supported Living

Are you someone who wants to make a real difference every day? Do you enjoy supporting people to live independently, try new things, and be part of their community? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

We're currently recruiting for Support Workers to join our friendly and growing Supported Living team. Whether you're looking for the stability of a contracted role or the flexibility of bank shifts, we have opportunities to suit you.

About the role:

As a Support Worker, you'll work with adults with various needs, including learning disabilities, autism, mental health challenges, or physical disabilities. Your role will be to support individuals in living full and meaningful lives in their own homes and local communities.

You will deliver person-centred support, helping each person achieve their own outcomes and live life on their terms. This may include:

• Helping with daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and personal care
• Supporting participation in activities such as swimming, shopping, arts & crafts, music, attending groups, or outings
• Encouraging independence and building confidence
• Supporting maintenance of relationships with family and friends
• Assisting with appointments and medication management
• Promoting wellbeing and safety at all times

Some roles require at least 6 months' experience in a similar setting, but not all positions have this requirement. We value the right values, a caring attitude, and a willingness to learn. For those with less experience, we provide full training and ongoing support.

What we're looking for:

• Kind, respectful, and supportive individuals
• Great communicators who can build positive relationships
• Patient, reliable, and flexible
• Committed to promoting choice, dignity, and independence
• Comfortable working alone or as part of a team

What we offer:

• Contracted hours or flexible bank shifts
• Paid induction and ongoing training (T&Cs apply)
• Holiday pay
• Support from a friendly, experienced team
• Opportunities for career progression in care
• A rewarding role where you see the difference you make daily

Roles may involve working a mix of days, evenings, weekends, or sleep-ins, depending on service needs. A full driving license is helpful but not essential.

Various shifts available include 12-hour days and nights, and 4-6 hour shifts. The pay rate is £12.21 per hour.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary with guaranteed hours (T&Cs apply)
• 28 days holiday pro-rata
• Paid induction training and shadow shifts
• Free uniform
• Additional industry training and career growth opportunities
• Discounts at major retailers with Blue Light Card
• Access to Employee Assistance Programme
• Motor maintenance discounts with a local garage
• Access to a company pool car
• Workplace pension with Nest
• Refer a friend scheme
