Summary

Are you passionate about empowering others to reach their full potential?

Forever Savvy is seeking a dedicated Support Worker/Job Coach to join our team across two centres, Horse Savvy and Creative Savvy, located in Broughton Astley and Bagworth.

At Creative Savvy, we cultivate an allotment-style garden and use recycled pallets to craft wooden products for sale in the local community. At Horse Savvy, you'll work in an outdoor equestrian environment all year-round.

Role Overview
In this fulfilling, full-time role, you’ll work with adults with moderate to severe learning disabilities, fostering experiential learning and personal growth through hands-on, work-based activities. As a Support Worker/Job Coach, you’ll support and inspire clients to build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and engage meaningfully in their work placements across both centres.

Key Responsibilities
• Provide guidance and serve as a positive role model for individuals with learning disabilities.
• Motivate and engage clients, helping them develop self-confidence in a supportive work setting.
• Facilitate experiential learning by guiding activities in gardening, woodworking, and animal care.
• Work with animals—including poultry, guinea pigs, and horses—in an outdoor environment.
• Encourage teamwork and independence by working effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Ideal Candidate Qualities
• Passionate about making a difference in others' lives.
• Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
• Knowledgeable in-home gardening and basic woodworking, with a safe and inspirational approach to guiding others.
• Experience working with animals in an outdoor setting.
• Able to support clients in building essential life and work skills.

Requirements
• Hours: 27 hours per week, Monday to Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
• Rate of Pay: £11.44 per hour.
• Transport: Must have a personal vehicle for client transport with business insurance (mileage reimbursed).

No prior experience in social care is required; however, a passion for hands-on activities and community support is essential. Relevant training and career development opportunities are available within our growing organization.
If you’re looking for a rewarding position with a community-focused project, please apply with your CV and cover letter to Stacey at StaceyBedford@foreversavvy.co.uk.
