About the Role
FitzRoy Supported Living services in central Nottingham provide care and support for adults with learning disabilities and autism, some of whom may present behaviours that challenge.
We are looking for an exceptional male Support Worker to join our friendly, person-centred team. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in people's lives while developing your skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.

No two days are the same. You'll support residents to live independently and enjoy meaningful activities, including:

* Supporting with holidays, cooking, and other hobbies
* Helping people achieve personal goals and make their own choices
* Providing personal care and promoting a healthy, balanced lifestyle

* Earlies: 7:00am - 3:00pm
* Lates: 3:00pm - 10:00pm
* Alternate weekends and sleep-ins required
What We're Looking For
* Compassionate, patient, and committed to helping others live their best lives
* Flexible and willing to work as part of a supportive team
* A full driving licence (you'll be required to drive our accessible vehicles)
Experience in care is an advantage, but not essential - we provide full training.
Why Join FitzRoy?
* Competitive pay and great overtime rates
* Generous annual leave from day one
* Supportive, inclusive team environment
* Meaningful, rewarding work every day
Interested?
If you're caring, reliable, and ready to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you

Testimonials
Debbie, Support Worker:
"It's hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job."
Chloe, Support Worker:
"You don't become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone's life. That's what made me want to do this job - I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice."
Alan, Support Worker:
"FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction."
