🌟 1:1 Support Worker – 32 Hours Per Week 🌟
Could you be the person who makes a real difference?
We are looking for a caring, confident and compassionate Support Worker to provide dedicated 1:1 support to an individual with complex support needs.
This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys building genuine relationships, providing consistent support and helping someone to have the best possible quality of life.
💙 This isn’t just a job — it’s about getting to know the person, understanding how they communicate and becoming a familiar, trusted face.
🕐 Hours of work
Monday: 08:00 – 18:00
Tuesday: 08:00 – 19:00
Wednesday: 08:00 – 19:00
32 hours per week, this would be the only care package you would be in to ensure the wellness and wellbeing of the young man is protected to the best of our ability.
From time to time, additional support may be required, so some flexibility around working hours would be desirable.
🧩 About the role
You will be providing 1:1 support, working closely with the individual and their family to provide safe, consistent and person-centred care.
The individual has complex communication needs, so you’ll need to be someone who is patient, observant and able to understand that communication isn’t always about words.
You’ll become familiar with their routines, preferences, communication style and individual ways of expressing themselves.
💙 We’re looking for someone who has:
Previous experience working in health or social care
A good understanding of learning disabilities
Experience or knowledge of palliative and end-of-life care
Experience supporting non-verbal individuals
An understanding of dysphasia and communication difficulties
Excellent spoken and written English, with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently with the individual, family and wider care team
A calm, patient and reassuring approach
Good observation skills and the ability to recognise changes in presentation or wellbeing
The ability to follow care plans, risk assessments and agreed support strategies
A genuine commitment to promoting dignity, choice, independence and quality of life
⭐ The person we’re looking for…
We’re looking for someone who is reliable, consistent and approachable.
Someone who understands that building trust takes time.
Someone who can communicate confidently, listen carefully and recognise when something isn’t quite right — even when the person they’re supporting may not be able to tell you themselves.
And, importantly, someone who can bring kindness, warmth and a little humour to the day. 😊
🗣️ Communication is key
Because of the individual’s communication needs, excellent English communication skills are an essential part of this role.
You will need to be able to communicate clearly and naturally with the individual and their family, understand and follow detailed care information, and accurately record and communicate important changes or concerns.
Consistency is particularly important, so we’re looking for someone who can become a familiar and trusted member of the individual’s support team.
🌟 What you’ll get from us
You’ll be joining a team where your contribution really matters.
You’ll have the opportunity to develop a strong working relationship with the individual, work alongside their existing support network and make a meaningful difference to their everyday life.
If you’re experienced, compassionate, dependable and think “this sounds like me”, we’d love to hear from you.
