At Care Tech, we are committed to delivering Extraordinary Days, Every Day through high-quality, person-centred care. Our focus is on empowering independence, building confidence and life skills, and supporting people to live fulfilling lives in environments that best suit their needs.

We are recruiting for a Support Worker - Female to join our supported living services in Oldham, supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs. Whether you're new to care or already have experience, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding, long-term career and truly make a difference.

We are looking for resilient, passionate, and positive women to join our friendly and experienced supported living team.

We support women aged 18 and over with a range of support needs, including:

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Autism
• Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD)
• Learning Disabilities
• Schizophrenia
• Trauma-related needs

Our approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and rooted in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS).

We believe people should be supported to live the life they choose, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to become as independent as possible.

You’ll work alongside the people we support to:

• Provide personal care, including washing and dressing, where required
• Support with meal preparation and developing cooking skills
• Encourage independence and everyday living skills
• Assist with household tasks and maintaining a safe, comfortable home
• Create opportunities for people to try new things, build confidence, and achieve their goals
• Use trauma-informed approaches to understand the person, not just the behaviour
• Apply Positive Behaviour Support approaches to promote positive outcomes
• Build genuine, trusting relationships based on respect, choice, and dignity
• Support people to be active participants in their own lives and communities

This is a role where experience really matters.

We're looking for people who are confident supporting individuals with complex needs and who understand that behaviour is a form of communication. You'll need to remain calm in challenging situations, think creatively, and adapt your approach to meet individual needs.

You’ll be resilient without losing your compassion, confident without taking away someone's choice, and experienced enough to recognise that sometimes the smallest steps are the biggest achievements.

We want people who are:

• Resilient – able to remain calm, consistent, and supportive during challenging situations
• Passionate – genuinely committed to improving people's lives
• Positive – someone who sees possibilities rather than limitations
• Empowering – someone who supports people to do things for themselves wherever possible
• Friendly – someone who understands the importance of building positive relationships
• Innovative – willing to think differently and find creative solutions
• Person-Centred – because the person is at the heart of everything we do

Most importantly, you’ll understand that supported living is about much more than providing support. It’s about helping people make choices, build confidence, develop skills, experience new opportunities, and live as independently as possible.

You’ll become part of an experienced, supportive, and values-led team who genuinely care about the people they…
