Community Support Worker in Kettering

Join Magenta Domiciliary Care Services as a Support Worker and become part of a team that makes a real difference every day. This role is about more than providing care; it's about helping people live with dignity, independence, and confidence in their own homes and communities. You'll support customers with personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, and social activities such as community visits, ensuring each person feels valued and respected.

Most visits are carried out independently, giving you the chance to build trusted one-to-one relationships, while occasionally working alongside colleagues for customers who need extra support. A full driving licence is essential, and all applicants will be subject to a DBS check. Strong communication and record-keeping skills are key, as you'll be responsible for documenting care and reporting concerns promptly.

If you're looking for a role where every day brings the opportunity to make a positive impact, this is your chance to be part of something meaningful.

Main duties of the job

As a Support Worker with Magenta Domiciliary Care Services, you'll play a vital role in helping people live independently and confidently in their own homes. Each day brings variety from assisting with daily routines and encouraging healthy living, to offering companionship and supporting customers to remain active in their communities. You'll often work alone, giving you the chance to build trusted one-to-one relationships, but at times you'll collaborate with colleagues when customers require more than one worker. Good communication and accurate record keeping are essential, as you'll be responsible for documenting the care you provide and raising any concerns promptly.

This role suits someone who is adaptable, reliable, and motivated by making a positive difference. It offers the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with customers, contribute to their wellbeing, and be part of a small, supportive organisation that values continuity of care.
