Equitas Medicare Group is a supported living provider specialising in care for residents with mental health needs, learning disabilities, and autism.
We are dedicated to transforming healthcare by providing resident-specific care that integrates innovative technologies and evidence-based practices. Supported by experienced professionals and proactive leadership, we focus on empowering individuals to take an active role in their health journey.
Our care plans are personalised to meet unique needs, ensuring effective, comfortable, and dignified care. We strive to create a meaningful healthcare experience for all individuals under our care.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Support Worker to join our supported living service, supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, and complex mental health needs.
This is more than a traditional support role. Alongside helping residents with practical day-to-day living, you’ll also play an important part in supporting emotional wellbeing, resilience, confidence, and recovery.
Some days are structured and steady. Others can be unpredictable, emotional, or challenging. We’re looking for someone who can stay calm, build trust, and provide consistent support that genuinely helps people feel safer, more stable, and more in control of their lives.
