About the role
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 daily life, while working within a dynamic team to support a fantastic group of people.
Our residential service, set just off the main street in Wellington, is a beautiful home with green grounds, its own hydrotherapy pool and sensory room, and a welcoming environment. You’ll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, assisting with personal care, and encouraging them to access their local communities, socialise and participate in activities. 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 a role for someone who wants to make a difference and help individuals grow in confidence and independence so they meet their goals, whether that be cooking dinner for themselves or going on holiday.
