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 be working with adults with a range of needs—this may include learning disabilities, autism, mental health challenges, or physical disabilities. Your role will be to support individuals to live full and meaningful lives in their own homes and local communities.

You’ll be delivering person-centred support, helping each person to achieve their own outcomes and live life on their terms.

This could include:
• Helping with day-to-day tasks like cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and personal care

• Kind, respectful, and supportive
• 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 – your choice
• Paid induction and ongoing training T&C’s apply
• Holiday pay
• Support from a friendly, experienced team
• Opportunities to progress your career in care
• A truly rewarding role where you can see the difference you make every day

Some roles may require you to work a mix of days, evenings, weekends, or sleep-ins (depending on service needs). A full driving licence is helpful but not essential.
