Job summary

Active Care Group is seeking a dedicated Support Worker to join our team in Mere, Wiltshire, delivering high‑quality complex care to a warm, elderly client at home. You’ll provide companionship, practical support, and assist with respiratory care needs under specialist supervision.

This role offers a flexible zero‑hours contract with regular shifts including nights, driving required, and access to clinical guidance from our nurses and specialists to help you grow in care.

Qualifications

• Driving licence and access to transport required due to rural location.

Responsibilities

• You’ll support our client both at home and in the community, helping him maintain his independence and quality of life while managing complex respiratory care needs.
• Receive specialist training from the Lane Fox Remeo Unit and ongoing clinical support from our Clinical Nurse Manager.
• Build meaningful relationships and help someone live life to the fullest.

Job description

Our client is an 80-year-old RAF veteran and former engineer, businessman, and teacher who is making excellent progress in his rehabilitation following a respiratory and cardiac arrest and stroke nearly three years ago. He requires a tracheostomy and enteral feeding tube to support his ongoing health needs. Despite these challenges, he leads an active and fulfilling life. He enjoys attending model railway events, working on projects in his dedicated hobby room, going to the gym two to three times a week, and following football. You will be supporting a warm, friendly gentleman with a great sense of humour who lives with his wife in a welcoming family home. This is an opportunity to provide meaningful support, companionship, and encouragement, helping him continue to enjoy the activities that bring him purpose and enjoyment.

Shifts Available:

• Waking Nights - 8:00pm - 8am

In this role, you'll support one individual with complex needs as part of a consistent care team, with regular weekly shifts and rotas planned in advance. While the role is offered on a flexible zero-hours contract, the work is ongoing and typically provides a stable working pattern with the same client.

Due to the rural location of the client's home, a driving licence and access to transport are required. We are happy to discuss travel arrangements with candidates travelling from further afield.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll support our client both at home and in the community, helping him maintain his independence and quality of life while managing complex respiratory care needs. You’ll receive specialist training from the highly regarded Lane Fox Remeo Unit, alongside ongoing clinical support and guidance from our Clinical Nurse Manager, ensuring you feel confident and fully supported in your role.
