You will be supporting a male in his early 30s who has mental health needs and a diagnosed visual impairment. He requires ongoing support to maintain his wellbeing, develop confidence, and live as independently as possible. He benefits from a consistent routine, positive relationships, and a calm, supportive approach that promotes his emotional and mental wellbeing.

As a Senior Support Worker, you will take a lead role in delivering person-centred support, ensuring his environment is safe, accessible, and tailored to his individual needs. You will provide practical and emotional support, encourage independence, and work closely with colleagues and professionals to ensure high standards of care are maintained. Building a trusting relationship and communicating clearly and sensitively will be key to helping him achieve positive outcomes and live a fulfilling life.

• Administer medication safely and adhere to safeguarding procedures, organisational policies, and best practice standards.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with family members, healthcare professionals, and other external partners.
• Support the individual to access appointments, social activities, and opportunities within the community. As travel forms part of the role, a full UK driving licence is essential.

Alongside the satisfaction of making a real difference, you’ll receive:

• Comprehensive induction and specialist training
• Clear career progression opportunities
