We are committed to helping the people we support live fulfilling, independent, and meaningful lives within their communities.
About the Role
We are currently seeking experienced and compassionate Support Workers to join our growing team. The successful candidate will provide practical, emotional, and social support to individuals, enabling them to achieve their personal goals, maintain their independence, and enjoy a high quality of life.
This role requires previous experience supporting individuals with learning disabilities and autism. Experience working with people who present behaviours that challenge and those with epilepsy or seizure-related conditions is highly desirable.
Support Workers will assist individuals with daily living activities, personal care where required, medication support, community access, social engagement, and the development of independent living skills. You will be expected to follow person-centred support plans, risk assessments, and company policies to ensure safe and effective service delivery.

Requirements
Applicants must have a minimum of six months' experience working within a health and social care environment as a Support Worker, Healthcare Assistant, or in a similar role. Candidates should have experience supporting individuals with learning disabilities and autism and possess a good understanding of person-centred care principles.
Knowledge of epilepsy and seizure management is essential. Candidates who already hold relevant training certificates are encouraged to apply; however, additional training and development opportunities will be provided by the company.
Successful applicants should possess strong communication skills, a caring and professional attitude, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable individuals.
