Key Elements of the Job Role

Support workers play a key role in enabling the people we support to carry out their daily tasks. That could be helping someone to live independently in their own home, experience new places, attend college, or work towards gaining employment.

They may also support people with their mobility, help them to eat and drink, and support people with challenging behaviour.

Some of the people we support need personal care, at varying levels. This can range from offering encouragement and support, to enabling people to do it themselves, to physically supporting them directly.

A Typical Day

It’s true that no two days are ever the same. It’s that variety that our teams love and that motivates them to treat every day as a new opportunity. The level of support each person requires varies, as does their interest in different hobbies and pastimes. Wherever possible we try and match our staff with people we support who have similar interests and passions in life.

Above all, we look for support workers who will bring enthusiasm to their work and be happy to get involved in a range of activities, while prioritising the health and wellbeing of those we support.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in then we would love to hear from you!!
