"Providing the right support so that people can live a fulfilling life."– Current Support Worker

If you're looking for a role where you can build a meaningful one-to-one relationship and support someone to achieve greater independence, this could be the perfect opportunity.

We're looking for a caring, patient and resilient Support Worker to join our team in Chippenham (SN14), supporting a gentleman in his 50s with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, bipolar disorder and sight loss.

This is a dedicated support role where consistency, trust and understanding are essential. You'll support him both at home and out and about, helping him maintain routines, manage anxiety and continue developing his independence.

He is full of character, enjoys having fun and has a great sense of humour. He loves music, especially anything with a good beat, and his collection of teddy bears plays an important role in how he communicates and expresses himself.

He enjoys:

• Listening to music
• Shopping trips
• Relaxing at home
• Spending time with people he knows and trusts
• Building his confidence and independence
• Exploring new opportunities at his own pace
• Enjoying quiet downtime when he chooses

He uses a limited vocabulary and his speech can sometimes be difficult to understand. He can become anxious or overstimulated at times, so learning how he communicates and recognising changes in his mood and wellbeing are important parts of the role.

Support includes:

• Supporting him with his personal care
• Meal preparation
• Administering medication
• Supporting mobility when out and about
• Providing reassurance and emotional support
• Following Positive Behaviour Support guidance
• Supporting him to build confidence and independence
• Supporting him during 2:1 outings when required
• Building a trusting and consistent support relationship

Every day is different, and you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference through patient, personalised support.

• 10:00am – 10:00am the following day (includes sleep-in)
• 7:00am – 5:00pm day shifts
• Some outings are supported on a 2:1 basis

Sleep-ins are paid at £50 per shift and cover hours from 10pm
-7am.

Rotas are provided in advance to support planning and work–life balance.

You'll be a great fit if you're:

• Caring, compassionate and patient
• Resilient and emotionally aware
• Attentive and observant
• Comfortable working independently in a lone-working role
• A strong team player
• Physically active and comfortable providing practical support
• Calm and reassuring when someone is feeling anxious
• Someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships
• A driver with a full UK manual driving licence
• Able to support someone in a consistent, person-led way

Experience is not essential, but a positive attitude, willingness to learn and commitment to providing great support are essential.

• A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work
• 30 days paid Annual Leave (including public holidays – pro rata)
• Opportunities for career progression
• Supported ‘Learn to Drive’ scheme (up to 30 driving lessons, 1 theory/practical test - all paid for by us)
• We offer a salary…
