Key Skills and Values
Because of the nature of the support provided, this role can be emotionally and mentally demanding. We’re looking for people who can remain steady under pressure, build trust, respond with empathy and maintain professional boundaries.
Life experience, resilience and a genuine commitment to helping others are essential in this post. This opportunity would suit someone who understands that progress can take time and who is able to offer patient, consistent support that helps people feel safe, respected and empowered in their own homes.
What you’ll do
As a Support Worker, your role will be varied and hands-on. You will:
• Support with medication, personal care, meal preparation and maintaining a safe home environment
• Provide practical and emotional support with daily living, routines, appointments and community access
• Help individuals manage challenges linked to mental health, addiction and independent living in a safe and respectful way
What makes this role unique?
This is a chance to support people who have faced significant challenges but are determined to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. The right candidate will recognise the importance of being a calm, reliable presence and will take pride in helping people achieve the outcomes that matter to them.
The people we support enjoy a range of everyday activities including swimming, baking, walks, music and football, and value support workers who are willing to engage, encourage and share in those moments.
If you are compassionate, emotionally mature and a good listener, this could be a genuinely rewarding role. The people we support value honest relationships, meaningful conversation and support from someone who brings patience, understanding and consistency.
We welcome applications from people who can bring resilience, common sense and real-life experience to a role that requires both heart and professionalism.
