Job description:
Job Title: Support Worker – Rose Cottage Care Farm
Location: Hockley Heath, Solihull Hours: Part-Time Weekends
About Us:
At Rose Cottage Care Farm, we do things a little differently. Set in a beautiful rural setting, our care farm offers tailored support for people with additional needs, and those living with dementia. We focus on building care around each individual, supporting them to live with purpose and fulfilment—whether that means personal growth or maintaining a good quality of life.
Job Overview (2:1 Support)
We are looking for a compassionate, enthusiastic Part-Time Support Worker to join our small and dedicated team. This role is specifically to provide 2:1 support for one adult with additional needs who requires constant supervision to stay safe and well.
The individual you will support may at times display challenging behaviours, so we are seeking someone who can offer calm, confident, consistent care, using positive behaviour support and clear boundaries.
The role is based primarily on the farm and includes supported outings in the community. You will help this individual engage in meaningful daily activities in a safe, structured, and welcoming environment and will need to communicate in clear and structured ways appropriate to their needs.
Please note: we particularly welcome applications from male candidates, as this individual responds best to (or specifically requests) support from a male worker.
Key Responsibilities
Provide constant 2:1 supervision and support throughout the shift, ensuring the individual’s safety, wellbeing, and dignity at all times.
Sensory play, communication sessions, completion of routines and enable integration within or around other guests at the farm and in public areas.
Deliver calm, consistent, and confident support when behaviours are challenging, following agreed positive behaviour support plans, risk management strategies, and team guidance.
Help create predictable routines and transitions that reduce anxiety and encourage engagement.
Promote communication, independence, emotional regulation, and choice-making using tools and approaches suited to the individual.
Maintain a safe environment for the individual, staff, visitors, and animals through proactive risk awareness and close supervision.
Uphold safeguarding responsibilities at all times — recognising concerns, responding appropriately, and reporting promptly in line with policy.
Record and share relevant observations, incidents, and progress with the team to support consistent care.
Work collaboratively with colleagues and external professionals, contributing to behaviour reflections and support planning.
Build a trusting, respectful relationship with the individual, supporting them with warmth, patience, and clear boundaries.
What We’re Looking For
A genuine passion for working alongside people with additional needs, supporting them to live well and take part in meaningful activities.
A confident yet caring attitude — able to hold kind boundaries, provide reassurance, and stay steady during difficult moments.
The ability to safeguard yourself and others, with strong awareness of safety, wellbeing, and professional responsibility.
A calm, patient, flexible approach, especially when supporting someone who may become distressed or present challenging behaviours.
Experience working with additional needs and/or challenging behaviours is welcomed but not essential — full training and ongoing support will be provided.
Willingness to learn, reflect, and follow support plans closely.
Interest in farm life and outdoor, hands-on activities (experience with animals is a bonus, not a must).
Why Work With Us?
A deeply rewarding role where you can make a real difference. You’ll be a steady, trusted presence helping one person feel safe, supported, and included.
A beautiful farm setting with meaningful, practical activities. The environment offers variety and grounding experiences that support wellbeing.
A supportive, values-driven team. You’ll be backed by colleagues who work closely together, share responsibility, and prioritise safe, consistent support.
Positive behaviour support and safeguarding training provided. We will equip you with the skills and confidence you need to do this role well.
The chance to help someone find purpose and connection. Your support will enable genuine participation, belonging, and small everyday successes that matter.
