Overview
We\'re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support. As a Support Worker you\'ll help people gain more independence in their daily lives, while working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people. Our residential service within close proximity to the beach in Burnham on Sea has a welcoming and friendly environment. You can be sure that no two days will be the same.

One day you could be out with the people we support in local bars and pubs, the next you could be unwinding with them playing video games, watching films or going to the cinema. This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to make a difference and help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.We\'re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice, as well as experience working with individuals requiring enhanced support, including behaviours of distress, mental health conditions, autism, forensic histories and people who have experienced trauma.
