A day in the life of a Support Worker: You might spend your morning helping a young woman with learning disabilities get ready for the day by providing personal care, support with breakfast and motivating them to go to their favourite day centre. Then at lunchtime, you could be visiting one of our supported living projects to help someone with their finances and budgeting; ensuring they are able to plan for their future and look towards moving in to an independent home.

By the end of your shift, you will have helped a multitude of people with a multitude of tasks, each one resulting in a huge sense of achievement and satisfaction! There also may be a requirement to cover our other services or be community based. Other aspects of the role will include but not limited to tenancy related support, budgeting, debt management, helping individuals to access the community, advocating a healthy lifestyle, improving confidence and independence. No sweat if you haven’t got any working experience in providing care for others. We will provide you with all the training you need and equip you with the skills to excel in the role. All you need to bring is common sense, your values and the willingness to learn and develop as this could be a great start to a career in social care.
