Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way.
You will be supporting 6 people with Learning Disabilities in their own flats in Thatcham, near Newbury. Your role will involve taking the initiative to promote independence, empower, and connect, helping them navigate life with confidence.
We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can't teach you is the stuff that comes from within: the joy you feel when celebrating someone's wins, big or small; the natural desire to make someone's day brighter; the understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step. That's what we are looking for from you.
What does it mean to be a support worker?
Think about your daily routine and what matters to you. If you needed support to keep your day the way you like it, what would be important to you?
In this role, you will:
1. Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
2. Adjust your approach to meet people's needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
3. Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.
Values and approach
People are at the heart of everything we do. As a support worker, you will embody our core values:
* Working together: Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with, communicating openly, building trust, and helping each other to provide the best support possible.
* Giving our best: Being dedicated to making a difference in people's lives, taking responsibility for your actions, and focusing on what matters most to those you support.
* Having courage: Being open to new ideas and approaches, using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others, and providing the most effective support possible.

* Buy and sell annual leave - transfer windows open twice a year.
* Wagestream - an app providing access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, plus coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback, and more.
