Are you looking for a job where no two days are the same? We’re looking for a Support Worker to support a gentleman in his 30s who lives independently. We need someone who can gently encourage him to step outside his comfort zone while respecting his choices.
A Day in the Life
Your role is all about supporting independence while making life fun! He loves trains, coffee shops, model railways, and days out to places like York Railway Museum, theme parks, the zoo, and the theatre. He’s also a huge fan of YouTube and Disney.
However, some days he may feel unable to follow through with plans. That’s where you come in—helping him navigate his day in a way that works for him. Encouragement, creativity, and patience are key to gently motivating him to take care of himself and his home. He needs support with meals that are easy to eat, so you’ll be cooking fresh meals and ensuring he’s eating well.
Supporting someone with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) means that everyday tasks can be challenging. Gentle encouragement and creative motivation are essential. When you see him succeed, whether it’s trying a new food or completing a trip out, it’s incredibly rewarding!
What We’re Looking For
We need someone who is adaptable, upbeat, and great at thinking outside the box! You must be a UK driver with your own car and business insurance. His family is incredibly involved, and while they pop in often, you’ll be there to help maintain his independence.
Hours & Working Pattern
* 10 AM - 9 PM (4 days a week) for full days out
* 10 AM - 2 PM and 6 PM - 10 PM on the other 3 days
* Includes weekends and bank holidays.
* No sleep-ins or night shifts!

* A rewarding role where you’ll make a real difference every day.
