We have a very unique opportunity in one of our supported living homes in Chippenham, supporting a gentleman called Seb, a young man with additional needs who lives in his own home.
Seb can be very independent but does need a support worker to be on hand at all times. You will need to understand the fine balance between being there to support Seb while respecting his need to ‘go it alone’ when he feels confident and able to do so.
Seb enjoys going to the pub, heading into town, gardening, and is quite something at local ‘Open Mic’ nights – Boy! Can he hold a tune! Can you, too?
You will be a confident, resilient and creative support worker, who is able to think on their feet and find opportunities in every moment to ensure Seb is able to continue thriving in his home.
This role will also see you spending some time in our other local homes to ensure your skills stay sharp and you continue to develop and gain from the wealth of experience that our wider teams can offer.
At Dimensions, we believe it is who you are as a person – and the difference you can bring to the lives of the people you will be supporting – that is more important than experience. Whether you are new to support work or have supported people previously, we want to hear from you! We will give you all the training you need to become an amazing support worker for the people you will be working with. You will find no other role more personally fulfilling and professionally rewarding than becoming a Support Worker with Dimensions.
