Job description

We’re recruiting!

Right to work in the UK on a full-time/part-time basis without the need for sponsorship.

Join us as a Waking Night Support Worker and create a future where learning disabled people live the best life possible.

We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning disabled people won’t be heard about the support they’d like. Some won’t get to decide what they do for work. Or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out the new hobbies they’d love to try.

Full and Part Time hours available.

But you can change all that.

Join our growing team in Preston and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.

Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then we’ve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community.

What we offer you:

• Location: Preston
• Salary: £12.51 per hour
• Working hours: Flexible to suit you and those you support. Sleep-in shifts paid at £49.08 per shift plus over 12.07% holiday pay.
• Generous holidays: 33 days of annual leave, including eight statutory bank holidays.
• Pay incentives: 10% overtime allowance, 20% Bank Holiday allowance, 50% for key dates over Christmas.
• Training & development: Fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care, with paid work.
• Additional benefits: Health, retail, and cash incentives.

What you’ll be doing:

Every day is different. Supporting individuals with tasks like shopping, outdoor activities, personal care, attending gigs, using public transport, and money management. Your role is to support people in discovering new interests, achieving goals, and maintaining relationships.

You’ll provide high-standard care and support, listening to individuals’ needs, assisting with medication, cooking, building confidence, and supporting adventures—all while maintaining a work-life balance with varied shifts.

We look forward to meeting you at our Preston services!
