Educational Residential Support Worker

Position: Residential Educational Support Worker.
Location: Limes + College/School at David Lewis.
Salary: £26,347.40 - £27,718.83 (plus weekend enhancements).
Contract: Full-Time.

Hi! We’re a group of seven individuals who live at Limes, one of the homes at David Lewis. We’re not just looking for a support worker - we’re looking for someone who’ll become part of our everyday lives.

We each have our own personalities, goals, and dreams. Some of us love music, others enjoy swimming, cooking, or going on adventures. What we all have in common is the desire to live independently, learn new things, and have fun doing it - and we need someone who’ll support us with kindness, patience, and a big smile.

As a Residential Educational Support Worker, you’ll be doing more than just a job - you’ll be helping us grow, thrive, and enjoy life.

• Supporting us at home - helping with cooking, cleaning, and building life skills through active support.
• Guiding us through education - supporting us in college or school as we learn and prepare for the future.
• Being there for us emotionally - helping us manage routines, feelings, and personal care.
• Making life fun - joining us on trips, to the cinema, swimming, or just having a laugh together.

You don’t need loads of experience - just the right values and a big heart. If you’re someone who:

• Has a great sense of humour.
• Is patient, understanding, and a good listener.
• Encourages others and celebrates small wins.
• Is a driver (we love getting out and about!).

Then we’d love to meet you!

Working here isn’t just a job - it’s a chance to change lives, including your own.

• Free training & qualifications - including NVQs in Health & Social Care.
• Career development - grow into senior roles or specialise in areas you love.
• Great pay & enhancements - extra for weekends and bank holidays.
• Wellbeing support - access to counselling, physio, and mentoring.
• A stunning workplace - our campus is surrounded by nature and purpose.

At David Lewis, we lead with values - inclusion, respect, empowerment, and compassion. When you join us, you’re not just supporting people - you’re helping build a world where everyone has the chance to shine.
