 Looking for more than just another care job?

We're recruiting a Support Worker to join a small, dedicated team supporting a gentleman who sustained a severe brain injury and loss of vision following a road traffic accident. You'll play a key role in helping him maintain his independence, participate in activities he enjoys, and live life to the fullest. What you'll be working: This full-time position averages 35 hours per week and follows a two-week rota pattern, including a mixture of day shifts and sleep-in nights. The team generally works 24-hour shifts, with day shifts running from 6:00am to 10:00pm and sleep-in support provided overnight. What you'll be doing: You'll provide person-centred support with daily living activities both at home and in the community. This includes accompanying the client to appointments, social activities and outings, supporting his independence, and helping him manage his daily routine. You'll also drive the client's Motability vehicle and work closely with his wider support network, including family members.

What you'll bring:

More than anything, we're looking for someone kind, reliable, respectful and enthusiastic who can build a positive relationship with the client and those around him.

You'll need:

• A full UK driving licence held for at least 12 months
• No driving convictions (insurance requirements apply)
• Confidence driving and accompanying the client on journeys
• The ability to travel independently between locations
• A flexible and adaptable approach to work
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• The ability to work independently and as part of a small team
• A genuine commitment to supporting someone to live an active and fulfilling life

Previous experience in care or support work would be beneficial, but full training and ongoing support will be provided.

What you'll get

• Competitive hourly rates with enhanced weekend and Bank Holiday pay
• Full training and ongoing support
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference every day
• A rewarding role within a friendly and supportive team
