About Dimensions

At Dimensions, your wellbeing matters. From health and wellbeing support to flexible working options, we provide the tools, benefits, and supportive culture you need to thrive both inside and outside of work.

Thanks to our incredible colleagues, Dimensions Group has been recognised as a Great Place to Work® for 2026 - our eighth consecutive year of accreditation.

About the Role

Are you patient, calm, and passionate about helping people live their best lives? We're looking for caring and committed Support Workers to join our team in Weymouth, supporting a friendly gentleman in his 20s who lives in his own home.

He is autistic and benefits from consistent, person-centred support that helps him maintain routines, develop confidence, and gradually explore new opportunities and experiences. This is a rewarding one-to-one role where you'll build a genuine connection and make a positive impact every day.

You’ll support him to enjoy the activities he loves, including:

• Watching his favourite DVDs, especially Thomas the Tank Engine
• Reading stories together
• Baking and cooking
• Arts and crafts activities
• Visiting local parks and enjoying the outdoors

No two days are the same, but every day offers the chance to support someone to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

What Will You Be Doing?

As a Support Worker, you’ll provide encouragement and practical support with everyday tasks, including:

• Preparing meals and supporting healthy eating
• Managing finances and budgeting
• Providing prompts and encouragement with personal care
• Supporting independence and developing daily living skills
• Promoting choice, confidence, and personal goals

You’ll also work closely with his family and the wider Dimensions team to ensure his support remains consistent, meaningful, and tailored to his individual needs.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Kind, patient, and reliable
• A good listener with a positive outlook
• Comfortable working as part of a team while also using their own initiative
• Passionate about supporting people to achieve their goals and maintain independence
• Committed to providing high-quality, person-centred support

Previous experience in care or support work is welcome but not essential, as full training and ongoing support will be provided.

Rewards that make a difference

Included are:

• A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work
• Flexible shift patterns to suit your needs
• 30 days paid
• Annual Leave (including public holidays - pro rata)
• career progression
• Supported 'Learn to Drive' scheme (up to 30 driving lessons, 1 theory/practical test - all paid for by us)
• We offer a salary advance scheme where you can access up to 50% of the money you've earned before payday.
• High Street Discounts - Retail and Entertainment (supermarkets, hospitality, pubs, cinema etc.)
• Life Assurance and Company Pension
• Industry leading training
• Enhanced DBS paid for by us
