About us

About the role
As a Support Worker, you’ll provide emotional and practical support to adults with learning disabilities and autism, helping them to live life their way. You’ll support people to build confidence, develop independence, learn new skills, access their community by taking part in activities, and do the things that matter most to them.

You will need to be able to use your own computer and tablet/phone to a comfortable level to use the online systems and apps which provide your rota, service details, and payslips. If you are not an avid technology user, don’t worry; all training will be given.
We’re committed to supporting our colleagues through regular check-ins, supervision, training, and ongoing communication, so you’ll feel supported both personally and professionally. No previous social care experience is required, as full training will be provided.

- Commitment to empowering people
- Kind, respectful, and patient approach
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Confidence to remain calm in difficult situations
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and sleep-ins on a rota
- Full UK driving licence preferred

- You have the flexibility to increase your earnings with sleep-in duties and overtime.
- With these opportunities, Support Workers earn on average* of £32,000 per year, with the potential to boost your salary even further.
- From £12.81 per hour, plus £75 per sleep-in
