Support Worker, Community Support Services

As a Support Worker in our Transition Service, you will play a key role in supporting young adults as they take their first steps into life after school, building confidence, independence and real community connections.

This is a community-based role supporting school leavers, typically aged 16 to early 20s, as they move into adulthood. You will support them to get out and about, try new things, build routines and develop the skills they need for the next stage of their lives. This role is worked Monday to Friday, providing consistency at an important stage of transition.

• Supporting small groups of young adults out in the community, including activities such as trampolining, coffee, the gym or other new activities
• Helping individuals build confidence, independence and social skills
• Encouraging people to take part in enjoyable and comfortable activities
• Supporting people to manage changes in routine and new experiences
• Working both as part of a team and at times on a one-to-one basis
• Supporting individuals with distressed or challenging behaviour in a calm and respectful way
• Building positive relationships and creating a safe, supportive environment
• Keeping accurate records and contributing to support planning

This role could be right for you if you are reliable, patient and genuinely motivated to support young people at an important stage in their lives. Experience working with young adults, particularly those aged 16 to early 20s, or supporting people with challenging behaviour would be helpful, but it is not essential. We are open to people who bring the right values and are willing to learn.

You are confident working in the community, can use your initiative, and are comfortable supporting individuals both in small groups and on a one-to-one basis. You understand that every person is different and are committed to delivering support that is person‑centred and respectful.

You will be required to join the PVG Scheme and register with the SSSC.

• A supportive team environment where you are not left to figure things out alone
• Ongoing training and development
• The opportunity to build meaningful relationships and see real progress
• A structured working pattern, Monday to Friday

We also offer a range of benefits, including a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card, a contributory pension plan, enhanced family‑friendly policies, a health cash plan, and a care concierge service.

You must be respectful of our Christian ethos and work within it.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is, without exception, granted by UK Visas and Immigration. We are required to check the entitlement to work in the UK of all prospective employees, regardless of nationality or job category.

As a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and registration with the SSSC is mandatory. It is your professional responsibility to maintain compliance with the standards and criteria for registration.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognize that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.

If you want a role where you can support young people to build confidence, independence and a life beyond school, we would welcome your application.
