Our Worksop service consists of five supported living homes, providing person-centred support to adults with a range of needs. The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, supporting individuals to develop and maintain independent living skills while promoting positive outcomes, safety and wellbeing.

Every person we support has an individual support plan tailored to their specific needs, making every day varied, rewarding and meaningful.

What you will be doing

  • Supporting residents with daily living tasks including cooking, cleaning and personal care
  • Helping individuals access community activities, social opportunities and leisure pursuits
  • Assisting with appointments, shopping, finances and medication support
  • Promoting independence, dignity, choice and wellbeing
  • Working positively and safely with individuals who may display challenging behaviours
  • Maintaining accurate records and contributing to person-centred support plans
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues and external professionals to achieve positive outcomes

This is a 24-hour service, so flexibility is essential.

What we need from you

  • A caring, adaptable and resilient approach
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • A positive attitude and genuine commitment to improving people's lives
  • The ability to remain calm and professional in challenging situations
  • Previous experience in a care or support role is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided

Ultimately, if you can demonstrate compassion, empathy, reliability and enthusiasm, we can help you develop the skills needed to succeed in the role.
