Full time and Part time hours available. Make a real difference. Be someone's reason to smile. Are you caring, compassionate, and ready to make a positive impact in someone's life? Join Real Life Options—a growing charity where your kindness becomes someone's independence.
About the Role
We're looking for enthusiastic Support Workers to join our dedicated team at Rodger Lane, a warm and welcoming supported living service in Wrenthorpe. You'll be supporting 6 individuals with complex needs and nonverbal communication, helping them lead fulfilling, meaningful lives—every single day. Your role will include:
- Supporting with daily living: personal care, mealtimes, and medication
- Encouraging fun and fulfilling activities—both at home and in the community
- Helping with cooking, cleaning, and maintaining a safe, happy home
- Joining in on holidays and day trips (yes, you get paid to go on adventures!)
- Keeping care plans and notes up to date with compassion and professionalism
Shifts You Can Expect
We offer shifts on a rota, including:
- Short shifts: 7am-3pm, 2pm-10pm, or 5pm-10pm
- Long shifts: 7am-10pm
We're a 24/7 service, supporting people 365 days a year—so no two days are ever the same. Driver preferred—we use two house vehicles daily for outings and appointments. Manual handling required—wheelchairs and hoisting are part of the role.
Who We're Looking For
You don't need to be experienced—we'll give you full training and support. What really matters is your attitude and commitment. If you can say #s1-Gen
What You'll Get in Return
We believe great support starts with happy staff. That's why we offer:
- Full induction & accredited training
- 28+ days holiday (pro-rata) including bank holidays
- Employer pension scheme
- £10,000 life cover
- Health Cash Plan (claim cashback on healthcare)
- Free Employee Assistance Programme (24/7 advice & support)

We're proud of our values-and we live by them every day: Respect - Honesty - Responsibility - Excellence
We welcome everyone and celebrate diversity. Whatever your background, if you're kind-hearted and committed, we'll support you to succeed. We're also happy to make adjustments if you have a disability, learning difficulty or health condition.
