The Service
Sherwood House is a registered care home providing person‑centred support to 19 elderly residents who have chosen this home as their place to retire and live happily ever after.
Like them, you will also feel a change of pace thanks to the home’s scenery, as it is situated in the small village of Linby who won Nottinghamshire's "best kept village" award in 2013. A local tale recounts that the humble pancake was invented by the women of Linby to celebrate the defeat of Danish invaders.
The Role
As a Support Worker at Sherwood House, your main responsibility is to help residents live as independently as possible, while respecting their choices and preferences.
Your duties will include:
Lead and coordinate shifts, ensuring high-quality, person‑centred support.
Support with daily living activities, personal care and community engagement.
Coordinate health, social care and community appointments.
Promote individuals' independence, choice and wellbeing.
Administer and record medication in line with agreed procedures.
Maintain accurate support plans, risk assessments and daily records.
Liaise with families, healthcare professionals and external agencies.
Provide guidance and support to Care Assistants and Support Workers during shifts.
Ensure a safe, supportive and welcoming home environment.
Respond appropriately to incidents, emergencies and safeguarding concerns.
This role may involve moving and handling tasks and risk management, so you must be comfortable and willing to undertake these duties. For full details, check out the Role Profile at the bottom of the page.

All successful candidates will be required to work on a rota basis over a 24‑hour period, including weekends and bank holidays; a bonus is paid for waking nights. Shift Patterns include: 07:00-15:00, 08:00-13:00, 08:30-12:30, 13:30-21:30, 07:00-14:30, 14:00-21:15, and 21:15- 07-15 waking nights.
