Make a difference by supporting people to live their lives their way. Supporting individuals with Learning Disabilities and Mental Health involves embracing their unique journeys. Each day offers new opportunities to explore interests, from walks in the park to enjoying a favorite café or engaging in hobbies. Your role is to empower and connect, helping them navigate life with confidence and independence.
Gender is considered a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can't teach is the passion and empathy that come from within: the joy of celebrating someone's wins, the desire to brighten someone's day, and understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step. That's what we are looking for in 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:
* Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
