Looking for a role where your work genuinely matters? As a Support Worker with Rushcliffe Care Group, you will support people through their everyday lives, helping them feel safe, respected, and supported, even on challenging days.
About Rushcliffe Care Group
You will be joining Rushcliffe Care, a company with over 35 years of experience in offering the highest levels of care to our most vulnerable in society.
Across our services, we support people to live safer, more fulfilling lives, with dignity, choice, and consistency at the centre of everything we do.
Our work is guided by clear values. These are not slogans. They shape how we treat people, how we work together, and what we expect from each other.
About the Role
As a Support Worker, no two days are exactly the same, but your role is about supporting people to live their day in a way that feels safe, meaningful, and respectful.
On a typical shift, you might help someone with personal care, support them with meals, offer reassurance, or spend time talking and engaging in activities they enjoy. You may support people to attend appointments, maintain routines, or manage more challenging moments with patience and calm.
You will work as part of a team, following individual support plans and guidance, making sure support is provided safely while promoting independence and choice wherever possible.
We are recruiting:
1. One Day Support Worker
2. One Night Support Worker (waking nights)
Shifts are worked across seven days, including weekends. Rotas are issued fairly and four weeks in advance.
About You
You do not need previous care experience, but you do need the right approach.
We are looking for people who take responsibility seriously and understand that consistency and reliability make a real difference to the people we support.
You are someone who follows guidance, works well with others, and treats people with patience and respect, even on challenging days. You are comfortable communicating with colleagues and managers and are willing to ask for help or raise concerns when needed.
You are open to learning, accepting feedback, and developing your skills over time. Full training and support will be provided.
