Want to be part of a team that really cares and empowers you to help change a customer’s life for the better?

You’ll make a big difference each day as you help our customers achieve their hopes and aspirations.
Typical day as our Support Worker
* Assisting customers with practical, daily living tasks to develop their independence, helping them to achieve the goals, aspirations, and outcomes documented in their support plans.
* We assist a range of customers with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental health.
* Helping customers with daily living activities such as making meals, shopping, budgeting, maintaining their tenancy, and moving onto independent accommodation if they are able.
* Carrying out risk assessments, support planning, goal setting, and regular reviews.
* Cuppas, chats, and catch-ups. There’s no rushing from one customer to the next here! Plenty of time to work together with colleagues too.
You bring
* Passion to support our customers to live their best life, working together with an eye for detail.
* Experience of caring for others; you may have worked in care before or have experience of caring for others such as family members or children.
* The ability to work on your own initiative, remain calm under pressure, and have a resilient approach.
* Recognise every customer is different, and you’re able to adopt a flexible, personal approach, listening to customers to understand their needs.
Due to limits on our current certificates of sponsorship, we are not able to offer sponsorship to external candidates for this role. This remains under regular review.

* Able to use technology to update support plans, complete online learning, and collaborate with colleagues.
* You’ll need an Enhanced DBS check done and we pay for that.

* Health cash plan saving you from £1140 per annum. We’ll cover your costs (and kids if you have them) towards dental, optical, prescriptions, alternative therapies, and lots more.
