About Transforming Support

At Transforming Support, we support adults with learning disabilities and complex needs to live as independently as possible in their own homes.

Everything begins with the individual. We listen to what matters to each person, recognise their strengths and provide person centred support that helps them make choices, pursue their goals and enjoy an active and fulfilling life within their community.

The role

As a Male Support Worker within our Peterborough supported living service, you will provide consistent, person centred support to an adult with complex needs, helping them enjoy greater choice, control and independence in their everyday life.

This is not about taking over or doing everything for someone. It is about providing the right balance of practical support, reassurance and encouragement, enabling the person you support to do as much as possible for themselves.

Every shift will be shaped by their individual needs, preferences and goals. You could be helping them develop daily living skills, manage their home or finances, attend appointments, look after their health, pursue personal interests or take a more active part in their community.

You will take time to understand what matters to them, build a positive relationship based on trust and provide support that respects their dignity, rights and choices.

It is a varied and responsible role where your patience, reliability and consistency can make a genuine difference.

What you’ll be doing

Providing respectful, person centred support within the individual’s own home
Helping them develop daily living skills and become more independent
Supporting them to make informed choices about their life and future
Providing support with their tenancy, health, medication and finances
Encouraging community involvement, relationships, personal interests, education and employment
Contributing to support plans, assessments, reviews and positive risk management
Maintaining clear, accurate and objective records
Working closely with colleagues and professional teams to provide consistent support
What you’ll need

We are looking for someone who:

Has at least six months’ experience working within a care or support setting

Genuinely wants to help another person live a fulfilling and independent life
Is compassionate, respectful and committed to promoting choice and dignity
Can communicate clearly and confidently with the person supported, colleagues and other professionals
Is patient, dependable and able to remain calm when needs or circumstances change
Understands the importance of safeguarding, equality and confidentiality
Can work positively as part of a team
Is comfortable maintaining accurate written records
Can work the required rolling shift pattern, including alternate weekends
This position is open to male applicants only. Due to the specific needs and care plan of the person supported, being male is an occupational requirement for this role under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

You must already have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

What you’ll get

£14.00 per hour
Up to £1,000 discretionary bonus
28 days’ annual leave, including bank holidays
A structured rolling shift pattern
The opportunity to build a genuine and trusted relationship with the person you support
Meaningful work where your contribution can lead to greater confidence, choice and independence
Fully funded enhanced DBS check
