Are You a Creative, Resilient Support Worker Who Sees Possibility in Every Moment?
If you're someone who thrives on thinking on your feet, finding joy in the everyday, and creating meaningful opportunities for others, this could be the perfect role for you.
Who Will You Be Supporting?
You'll be supporting a young man with additional needs who lives independently in his own home. He's confident, sociable, and values his independence—but also appreciates having someone nearby who understands when to step in and when to step back.
He enjoys:
- Trips to the pub and town
- Gardening
- Performing at local Open Mic nights (he's got a great voice—maybe you do too?)
This is a unique opportunity to build a trusting, respectful relationship where your support helps him continue to thrive.
What Will You Be Doing?
As a Support Worker, you'll be:
- Balancing Independence & Support: Respecting his autonomy while being ready to assist when needed
- Daily Living Support: Helping with routines, personal care, and household tasks
- Community Engagement: Supporting hobbies, outings, and social events
- Team Collaboration: Occasionally working in nearby homes to share skills and learn from others
What Are We Looking For?
We're looking for someone who is:
- Resilient & Creative: Able to adapt and find solutions in the moment
- Empathetic & Respectful: Understands the importance of personal space and independence
- Confident & Engaging: Brings energy and positivity to every interaction

- Driver: Preferred, especially if you can use your car for work
