Support Worker, Caregiver

At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We're looking for passionate and caring Support Workers to join our specialist home in Warrington. Riverside is our adult home in Warrington and consists of four, two bedroom houses next door to each other with a shared, large garden space.

The people we support here love getting out and about, visiting new places and going on trips away. They love independent days out as well as taking part in whole-home activities and celebrations. Riverside are often the hosts of parties and events like their annual 'Riverfest'. As a Support Worker, you will be a key part of their day-to-day support team, actively valuing and amplifying what matters to them, empowering their communication and independence, planning fulfilling activities.

You will also keep records of their needs, support provided and progress. No two days are the same, you could be supporting someone to settle into their new home, develop independence and life skills, enjoy activities they love, or achieve important milestones. You'll be part of a supportive team creating a safe, positive, and empowering environment where people can truly thrive.

You will help to create a warm, stimulating environment whilst working a mix of day shifts and sleeps to meet individual needs. You'll do more than provide care – you'll be a mentor, advocate, and source of encouragement, helping the people you support to achieve the best outcomes.

What we're looking for:

Passion for person-centred support. Positive, proactive attitude. Resilience and strong teamwork skills. Willingness to learn and grow. Full UK driving licence is desirable. Care experience is helpful but not essential - full training and support will be provided.
