- Current Support Worker
You'll join a warm, skilled team supporting eight adults (six men and two women) aged 40-60 with a range of complex health needs. Each person brings their own personality, preferences, and communication style — and you'll play a vital part in helping them live joyful, meaningful lives.
You'll support people with:
* Epilepsy
* PEG feeding
* Complex physical needs
* Communication challenges
* Guidance from SALT around feeding and communication approaches
Some people enjoy holding hands, some love music and social interaction, while others prefer calmer spaces. Family involvement is strong, and understanding cultural needs — including dietary requirements for individuals from Muslim backgrounds — is important.
What Will You Be Doing?* Providing personal care and mobility support
* Following SALT recommendations for safe feeding and communication
* Administering medication, including PEG feeding and epilepsy protocols
* Supporting activities such as music, sensory sessions, arts and crafts, baking and gardening
* Encouraging independence, choice and creativity
* Building trusting relationships and recognising individual communication cues
* Working closely with families and healthcare professionals
You'll bring positivity, empathy and a team-focused mindset. You'll be observant, patient, and comfortable supporting people with complex healthcare needs.
We're looking for someone who is:
* Positive, caring and team-oriented
* Creative and musical (bonus if you play an instrument!)
* Observant, patient and culturally aware
* Comfortable driving a large mobility minibus (manual licence essential)
Experience with complex care or Positive Behaviour Support is great, but not essential — full training is provided.
Rewards That Make a Difference* A competitive pay rate with uplift for overtime you choose to work
* Flexible shift patterns to support your work-life balance
* 30 days paid annual leave (including public holidays - pro rata)
* Opportunities for career progression
* Supported Learn to Drive scheme (up to 30 lessons + tests paid for)
* Salary advance scheme - access up to 50% of your pay before payday
* High street, retail and entertainment discounts
* Life Assurance and Company Pension
* Industry-leading training
* Enhanced DBS paid for by us
* An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this role, the cost of which will be incurred by Dimensions.
* We welcome applications from everyone who has the right to work in the UK, and value diversity in our workforce.
* If a driving licence is required for this role you will need to produce a copy of the driving licence at the onboarding stage.
* As Disability Confident Leaders, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
* As part of our commitment to making reasonable adjustments, we can offer support to complete your application. Please contact the Resourcing Consultant Team on 03003039150.
