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.
* You’ll assist a wide range of customers with Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities & 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.
Job details
* Where we’re flexible with you, we do need to meet the needs of our customers. That may mean adapting your start or finishing times on occasion.
* Night Shift work – your rota will be either 6pm - 4am or 9pm - 7am on rotation.
* Although you’ll work nights/lone work, we do get together regularly in the daytime for training and team meetings.
* 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.
What’s in it for you?
* 34 days leave (including bank hols and a “me day” to use for whatever you fancy), increasing to 39, the option to buy 5 more, and time off for volunteering too!
* 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.
* Over 800 high street discounts on groceries, holidays, and days out.
* We Grow Our Own colleagues; when you’re ready for the next step in your career, you can grow with us!
