We provide all the training you need to be a confident support worker. Whether you have experience caring for someone, are an experienced health care professional or completely new to the world of adult social care, we want you to be a compassionate and friendly individual, who shares our values.

What matters most is a positive attitude to life and a desire to support people to live their life with as much independence, choice, dignity and control as possible. You will need to have good listening skills and a practical, caring approach. Basic computer literacy is needed, as the role requires you to retrieve and record information using a variety of IT systems and devices.

We offer

  • 33 days annual leave (including 8 days statutory Bank holidays)
  • 20% bank holidays allowance with an increased rate of 50% for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day
  • Apprenticeships - Earn whilst gaining a fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care
  • Access to discount codes on your favourite brands such as, apple, sky, Asos, Just eat, Asda, Pure Gym, Body shop, Argos and many more.
  • Access to 24/7 colleague counselling and support services
  • Continuous award-winning training and development
  • Annual staff award scheme
  • A contributory pension scheme & life assurance
  • Free DBS Check

What is Support Work?

As a support worker, your responsibilities are varied, and no two days are the same. The purpose of your role is to give the highest possible standards of support to individuals with moderate to severe learning disabilities.

This can range from supporting them to discover new interests, reaching goals like travelling or holidays and working positively with their families and friends. This will help individuals to engage in different leisure, home or work-related activities, all according to their personal choice.

As well as providing physical and emotional support you may be needed to help with household tasks and personal care as well as supporting individuals with healthcare needs, e.g., taking medication.

Everything you do will enable people to have choices about their own lives, providing flexible services that meet people’s needs, and always looking for the best way of doing things.

What’s in it for you?

There are a range of benefits and career development opportunities at Hft. We’ll give you a comprehensive induction, full training, and support along the way.

If you do not already have a relevant qualification in Health and Social Care, Hft will fully fund and provide training for you to obtain your Diploma in a Health and Social Care within the first 18 months of your employment.

As a ‘Gold’ standard Investors in People accredited employer, we are committed to supporting colleague wellbeing as a priority. Within this, all Hft employees get access to TELUS– the world’s biggest 24/7 colleague counselling and support service. It is completely free for all colleagues to use in complete confidence, whenever and however they want to access it.

Who are we?

We are Hft, a national charity supporting adults with learning disabilities to live the best life possible. We have just celebrated our 60th anniversary in 2022 and from humble beginnings, we have evolved into one of the UK’s largest learning disability charities.

Find your place with us and change lives.
