This service is a supportive and nurturing environment where our skilled team works closely with individuals to help them achieve their personal goals and maximize their potential. We provide person-centred care that focuses on each individual’s unique needs, offering physical, emotional, and social support to enhance their quality of life.
A Senior Support Worker is someone who not only provides practical and emotional support to people in their everyday lives but also helps guide and support the wider care team. It’s a role that’s full of variety — every person we support has their own unique goals, preferences, and challenges, which means no two days are ever the same.
Senior Support Workers play an important part in helping individuals build confidence, develop new skills, and live as independently as possible. They support people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, and mental health conditions, offering encouragement and understanding along the way.
Alongside providing direct support, Senior Support Workers also take on extra responsibilities — like helping to coordinate care plans, mentoring newer team members, and making sure everything runs smoothly day to day. They’re the friendly link between the team and management, ensuring that everyone receives the highest standard of care and that each person we support can live a happy, fulfilling life in their own home.
Working as a Senior Support Worker at Dolphin Homes is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable careers you can have. It’s perfect for those who thrive in a fast-paced, varied role with plenty of opportunities for interaction. The job offers a great sense of fulfilment, as you’ll be making a real difference in the lives of the people we support, helping them gain independence and improve their quality of life.
As a Senior Support Worker, you’ll have the opportunity to accompany the wonderful people we support on a variety of exciting activities. These might include:
- College visits
- Swimming
- Horse riding
- Cycling
- Cinema trips
- Theme park adventures
- Holidays (both in the UK and abroad)
- Arts and crafts
- Concerts
- Baking
In addition to fun activities, you’ll also help with important daily tasks such as assisting with dietary plans, supporting individuals in their local community, assisting with personal care duties, and teaching vital life skills to promote independence.
At Dolphin Homes, we foster an environment built on openness, dignity, and respect. We empower the individuals we support to take control of their lives, make their own decisions, and reach their full potential as valued members of their community. Our main priority is to find individuals who share our core values, attitudes, and commitment to supporting others.
