At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We're looking for a passionate and experienced Senior Support Worker to join our team in Widnes.
Our Widnes Children's home is a large, detached property supporting five children aged 7-18 with a diagnosis of autism and learning disabilities. The home has an enclosed, spacious garden with swing, slide and climbing frame. It is surrounded by countryside but within close proximity to Widnes town centre. The children love taking part in activities in the local area including ice skating, trampoline parks and swimming. The home is also only 5 miles from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the children love watching planes land and take off from the garden.
As a Senior Support Worker, you will be leading the team whilst you are on shift, acting as a role model to deliver the highest standards of care. You will develop strong relationships with the team and the people we support to ensure the best possible outcomes.
You will get to know each individual, find out their interests, and support them to achieve the small and big steps in reaching their goals and living the life they choose. Each day will be completely different, but you will be there to guide them through all of life's milestones and challenges.

- Previous experience in a care role in a senior/team leader/supervisory capacity.
- Be committed to continuous improvement of the home and the team.
