Job Introduction
This position does not meet the requirements for sponsorship under current UK immigration guidelines
Would you like to be part of a small and highly specialised service which is committed to supporting me in the community?
Would you like to involve me and support me to be part of my local community?
Would you like to be well trained, well supported, well paid and know that you are making a positive difference every time you go to work?
As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to residents' lives as you improve their daily living skills. Passionate about people, you will enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress with us.
Where will I be working?
I’m looking for caring and understanding people to support me both at home and out in my local community. I’m a woman in my 50s with autism and a moderate learning disability. Sometimes I experience high anxiety and may show behaviors of concern, such as self-injury or scratching, so I need a team who can offer patience, reassurance, and a calm approach.
It’s important to me that my support team understands autism and can help me feel safe and valued.
I love listening to music and watching films, especially anything to do with Christmas, which is my favorite time of year! I also enjoy getting out and about in the community, shopping, visiting local cafés, and catching up with friends I’ve made there.
At home, I like doing face masks, self-care activities, and baking with staff. If you’re someone who is kind, patient, and enjoys helping others live a full and happy life, I’d love to hear from you.
We use a digital social care record system, to support daily recording, which will make your day-to-day tasks easier and allows you to spend more time with the People We Support. Some aspects of this role will involve lone working.
Shift Patterns
This is a 24 hour service and will require the flexibility to work a shift pattern that includes evenings, weekends, and bank holidays in turn as part of a team. As a person-centred provision, we will look to develop shift patterns around the support needs of the people being supported, and therefore it’s unlikely that there will be a ‘standard’ shift time, and it’s likely that the pattern of work will evolve as people’s lives evolve.
Please note that the shifts may vary.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

You will get 29 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 31 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
