At Hightown, we're a housing charity that builds homes and supports people . In Berkshire around Crowthorne we provide high-quality care and support to adults with learning and physical disabilities.

We are looking for some great new Learning Disability Support Workers to join our team. We have full time and part time roles available.

Who we are looking for

We're keen to recruit individuals who care regardless of qualifications or experience. We care more about you sharing and demonstrating our values, which are:

Putting our residents and service users first
Treating people with respect , promoting independence and choice
Developing passionate and committed teams
Being cost effective without compromising standards or safety

We will give you all the training and support you need to be a Learning Disability Support Worker including a qualification in health and social care, if you don't already have one.

If you share our values, we'd love you to work for us.

As a Learning Disability Support Worker you will be empowering our service users to lead the life they want and you'll support them to go out for walks, going by car on day trips, to the cinema and bowling. You'll join a supportive team with a 'can do' attitude who engage with our residents to find new things for the service users to join in with whether it's arts and crafts, cooking or a Friday night disco. As part of the role you will be required to provide personal care and support with eating and drinking.

You will need to want to work shifts, hold a full UK driving licence. Unfortunately at this time we cannot offer visa sponsorship and you will therefore need to demonstrate the right to work in the UK.
