We’re recruiting!
Join us as a Learning Disability Support Worker and help build a future where learning disabled people live the best life possible.
We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning disabled people aren’t heard about the support they’d like. Some won’t get to decide what they do for work or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out new hobbies they’d love to try.
But you can change all that.
Join our growing team in Bedfordshire, and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.
Do you feel like our values — Kind, Diverse, Positive, and Visionary — are a good match to your values? Then we’ve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals, and thrive in your community.
What we offer you:
* Location: Biggleswade SG18
* Service type: Supported Living
* Locations: across Biggleswade
* Salary: £12.77 per hour
* Working hours: 37.5 and 22.5 hour contracts, with a mix of early shifts, late shifts, and every other weekend
* Sleep-ins at the service are £45.06
* Generous holidays: 33 days of annual leave (including eight statutory bank holidays)
* Pay incentives: 10% overtime allowance, 20% Bank Holiday allowance, 50% for key dates over Christmas
* Training & development: Fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care while earning
* Benefits: Health, retail, and cash incentives to use as you wish
What you’ll be doing:
Every day is different. You may support someone to plan their weekly shop, go on outdoor adventures, provide personal care, support them to attend their favourite gig, build confidence in using public transport, or teach money management skills. The goal is to support people in discovering new interests, achieving goals, and maintaining relationships with family and friends.
You’ll provide the highest standard of care and support for learning disabled adults, listening to their wants and needs, assisting with daily tasks like medication and cooking, and helping them build confidence and take on new adventures. You will work a variety of shifts to support work-life balance.
Having a full driving licence is a plus but not essential.
We look forward to meeting you at our Biggleswade services!
Find your place with us and change lives.
