At CrossReach, we’ve been making a difference for over 150 years – and we’re still going strong. Our support services for people with learning disabilities are all about enabling independence, building confidence, and creating meaningful moments every single day. And now, we’re looking for someone who shares our values to join the team as a Support Worker.
What does the role involve?
As a Support Worker, you’ll play a key role in supporting adults with learning disabilities to live full, rewarding lives. Whether it’s helping someone manage their own home, attend a job interview, or simply enjoy a hobby they love – no two days are ever the same.
You’ll work without direct supervision, using your initiative and compassion to:
* Provide personalised, high-quality care and support in line with individual care plans
* Promote choice, dignity, inclusion, and independence
* Support daily living tasks – including personal care, nutrition, and household tasks
* Help individuals access work, education, and social opportunities
* Build strong relationships with families, professionals, and your team
* Be a Key Worker – leading reviews, support planning and risk assessments
* Carry out sleepovers as part of a 24-hour rota
Ensure health, safety, and wellbeing are always front of mind.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone with a big heart, a level head, and a natural way with people. You’ll be someone who can work independently and take the lead when needed, but who’s also a brilliant team player.
Ideally, you’ll have:
* Experience in social care (although it’s not essential – we’ll provide full training)
* SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care or a willingness to work towards it
* Basic IT skills – you’ll use Microsoft Office and complete e-learning
* A full understanding of what it means to work in a values-based and person-centred way
* Most importantly, this role has a genuine occupational requirement (under the Equality Act 2010) for you to have a Christian faith and a willingness to work within and uphold CrossReach’s Christian ethos.
Why work for CrossReach?
* A real opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives
* A supportive, values-driven team who believe in what they do
* Ongoing learning and development opportunities
* Access to a pension, health and wellbeing support, and other staff benefits
* A workplace where your faith and values aren’t just welcome – they’re essential
* This post requires you to be a member of the PVG Scheme and to register with the SSSC. We’ll guide and support you through both.
If you’re looking for more than just a job – if you want to be part of something meaningful – we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now and help us continue a legacy of love, care, and support.
