About the role
- Female Support Worker
- 30 Hours per week
- Bury St Edmunds, IP33
We are recruiting a female Support Worker to provide values-led, person-centred support across two supported living homes in Bury St Edmunds. This is a 30-hour, days-only position, with shifts including 8am-3pm, 3pm-10pm, and full long days, on a rolling two-week rota including alternate weekends.
You will be part of a wider team supporting 14 adults aged 30-60+ across the other flats within the locality. Support varies but may include community involvement, cooking, budgeting, maintaining routines, and occasionally supporting with mobility, prompting personal care, and monitoring wellbeing during day shifts.
Key responsibilities:
- Provide personalised 1:1 support, including occasional 2:1 when required.
- Follow positive behaviour support plans and proactive strategies.
- Support with personal care based on individual needs.

- Comfortable driving (preferred, not essential) and able to drive people we support vehicles.
