Join Dimensions
At Dimensions, we believe great support starts with great people. Your commitment is recognised through benefits and recognition programmes that genuinely matter — supporting your wellbeing, financial security, and work-life balance.
We're proud to have been accredited as a Great Place to Work for 2025 — our seventh year in a row. That doesn't happen by accident; it happens because of teams who care.
About the RoleThree wonderful people — two gentlemen in their 50s and a lady in her 40s, all with learning disabilities — are looking for a new Support Worker to join their friendly team in Southbourne.
They live active, fulfilling lives, and they're looking for someone who will enjoy getting involved in the things they love, including:
- Supporting two people to travel to and from their day centre three times a week
- Listening to music together
- Day trips to museums and places of interest (the Tank Museum was a recent favourite)
- Walks at Hengistbury Head and along the beautiful local beaches
- Meals out at local pubs and restaurants
- Swimming sessions at Pelhams Leisure Centre
All three use wheelchairs (one only when out of the house, the others full-time), but that certainly doesn't stop them from enjoying an active lifestyle.

You don't need previous experience — just the right values, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. If you're someone who enjoys being out and about, loves good company, and wants to make a meaningful difference in someone's life, this could be the perfect role for you.
A full UK/EU driving licence is essential, as supporting people to access the community is a key part of the role.
