We're seeking an experienced Support Worker to join our supported living home in Greenford, Ealing. This is home to three gentlemen aged 25-50, each living independently in their own flat within the same building. You'll work across all three flats, acting as a key worker for one person while still contributing to the wider support team.
All three individuals have autism, learning disabilities, mental health needs and differing communication styles. The home supports people who may present behaviours of distress, so we're looking for someone calm, confident and patient, someone who can remain solution-focused when situations change quickly.
Support is provided on a 2:1 basis during the day, so you'll always be working alongside a colleague. Your role will involve promoting independence in daily living, offering gentle prompts around personal care, supporting with cooking and meal preparation, administering medication, and following structured support plans to ensure consistency and safety.
These gentlemen enjoy active, fulfilling routines, with interests including swimming, theatre visits, coffee outings, motorway drives, farm trips, seaside days out and summer visits to London Zoo.
Shift patterns include: 07:15 to 14:45, 14:30 to 22:00, 07:00 to 22:00, Wake nights run from 22:00 to 07:30, and staff work alternate weekends.
About you
You are an experienced Support Worker who shares our values of Ambition, Courage, Integrity, Partnership and Respect. You're confident supporting people with autism, learning disabilities and behaviours of distress, and you understand the importance of empathy, consistency, and clear communication.
You will have experience offering emotional support, promoting independence, and documenting information accurately. You're comfortable building relationships with families and professionals and you're able to adapt to changing needs while remaining calm and encouraging.
You also bring basic IT literacy for e-learning and record keeping, along with the patience and problem-solving mindset needed to support people in a busy and rewarding environment. The wider team will offer coaching, guidance and continuous development to help you build your specialist skills.
