Ready to lead with purpose and passion? Join us as a Senior Support Worker, and guide your team to success! We're a tight-knit team supporting six wonderful people with learning disabilities, aged 24 to 56, across three houses in Leicester. Each person brings their own personality, routines, and aspirations, making our time spent together truly meaningful. That's where you come in — in this role, you'll unlock opportunities for people to live a gloriously ordinary life on their own terms, staying connected with their families, friends, and communities, and exploring new experiences. As a Senior Support Worker, you'll mentor your team, provide proactive support, and be the go-to person for advice and encouragement. Your leadership, empathy, and ability to motivate will inspire your team to deliver their best every day. With your keen eye for detail and advocacy, you'll ensure compliance while prioritising the health and happiness of everyone who draws on our support. You'll lead with calm, patient, and clear communication. Walking far isn't easy for her, so your UK manual driving licence will help her enjoy the world beyond her neighbourhood — from shops and salons, to parks and coffee spots. It's all about supporting her to live life in a way that makes sense to her: with style, independence, and joy.
You must be a driver with a clean UK manual licence & be prepared to drive adapted cars. Please note, we are currently unable to offer sponsorships as we await further guidance from the Home Office. Applications requiring sponsorship cannot be considered at this time. We appreciate your understanding.
