About Transforming Support
At Transforming Support, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a quality life, make their own choices and work towards goals that genuinely matter to them.
Our Harvest Rise supported living service provides person centred support to adults with learning disabilities and a range of complex needs. We focus on what each person can achieve, helping them develop independence and enjoy greater confidence, choice and control.
The role
As a Support Worker, you will provide consistent, respectful support to people living in their own homes.
This is not about doing everything for someone. It is about helping each person do as much as possible for themselves, make informed choices and build a life that reflects their interests, goals and individual needs.
The difference you make could involve helping someone manage their home, prepare a meal, look after their health, attend an appointment, pursue a personal interest or become more involved in their community.
You will take time to understand what matters to each person and provide the right balance of practical support, reassurance and encouragement.

Communicates clearly, respectfully and confidently
Is patient, dependable and able to remain calm when circumstances change
Can work independently while contributing positively to a team
Can maintain accurate written records and manage their time effectively
Is able to work day or night shifts, including alternate weekends
Experience supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs or complex needs would be advantageous.
Full training will be provided to help you develop your knowledge and succeed in the role.
You must already have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for these roles.
What you’ll get
£14.00 per hour, equivalent to £28,028 per annum
Discretionary £1,000 annual bonus
28 days’ annual leave including bank holidays
Fully funded enhanced DBS check
A predictable rolling two week rota
