Support Worker to Bring Positivity, Companionship & Confidence to Everyday Life WC2164 in Swindon

This role is to support a man. The candidate should be a man. Drivers licence required: Yes. Own vehicle needed: Yes.

Hours per week: 3 hours a day, twice a week. Hourly pay rate: £13.

We’re looking for a warm, reliable, and encouraging Support Worker to make a real difference in the life of a friendly gentleman who enjoys the simple pleasures of watching football, keeping up with darts, and getting out and about in the community. This role is perfect for someone who brings patience, reassurance, and a steady, supportive presence to each day.

You’ll be offering gentle encouragement with day-to-day living, from helping him to complete domestic tasks to spending time out in the community together—whether it’s running light errands, attending appointments, or simply enjoying time outside of the home. He thrives with reassurance and someone by his side who can help him feel confident and comfortable throughout the day.

If you’re someone who enjoys meaningful connection, values routine but appreciates that every day can be a little different, and can offer flexibility with working days, this could be a truly rewarding opportunity. Join us in creating a supportive, positive environment where this gentleman can feel at ease and live life to the fullest.
