At Dimensions, you'll do work that matters, supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to live life their way. As a not-for-profit and Disability Confident Leader, we put people before profit and back you with award-winning training (Aspire and Dimensions Academy) and real progression.

About the Role
- Female Support Worker - New Southgate, London (N11)
- Full-Time - Day Shifts (7am - 9:30pm)
You'll be joining a supported living home in New Southgate, just a short walk from New Southgate Station and close to Alexandra Palace. You'll support four adults, three women and one man, with autism and learning disabilities. Three people have epilepsy, though only one experiences seizures, and full training (including buckle training) will be provided to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
Each person has their own interests. Some love going to the gym, one attends college, and another spends weekdays at a day centre. Weekends are all about hobbies and having fun, whether that's music, crafts, or relaxing together. Your day and week will be varied and rewarding, you will support with personal care (prompting personal hygiene routines), prepare meals, follow SALT guidelines for one person with dysphagia, and ensure everyone feels safe and supported throughout the day.
This is a role where you'll encourage independence and make a real difference every day.

You'll bring confidence in supporting people with autism, learning disabilities, and epilepsy. You understand the importance of person-centred support, helping people live life their way while respecting choice and independence. You'll be skilled at following structured support plans and maintaining routines.
Strong communication is essential: you'll adapt your approach to meet individual needs, whether that's using clear language, active listening, or visual prompts. Reliability, resilience, and the ability to work calmly under pressure are key, especially when lone working. Above all, you'll share our values - Ambition, Courage, Integrity, Partnership and Respect.
