We’re always looking for Support Workers, and we review applications regularly. There’s no fixed deadline, so if you’re chosen, we’ll contact you for a first interview. After that, there’s a second interview where you can meet the people you might work with.
For other jobs, the deadlines and interview dates are set by the hiring managers, so they might vary. But we try to get back to successful applicants as soon as we can!
Absolutely! We’re committed to giving our staff the tools and support they need to do well in their jobs.
As a Support Worker, you’ll start with shadowing shifts and training during your first few weeks. This helps you feel confident and ready for your role.
Even after your initial training, we provide ongoing refresher courses to help you grow and build on what you already know.
We offer a wide range of roles, so there’s plenty to choose from! You can find more information about them here.
We have two main services: Housing Related Support and Learning & Leisure.
In Housing Related Support, we provide supported living services, including projects with 24/7 support for tenants. We also offer Outreach and Floating support, where clients live independently or with their families and receive support as needed. These services involve community activities tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
Our Learning & Leisure service offers fun group and one-to-one activities for children, young adults, and adults. This includes day services, after-school clubs, play schemes, and popular events like the Friday Night Disco. We also have a Finding & Matching project that provides individual support to people living independently or with their families.
Both services focus on empowering individuals, offering person-centered support, promoting choice and integration, and reducing isolation.
Based on your availability, we offer a variety of hours, shifts, and contracts across our services and projects. You can choose between full-time, part-time, and flexible bank (zero hours) work.
Our aim is to provide a comprehensive service that prioritizes the needs of the people we support. This means we cover various hours, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. For instance, if you’re a full-time Support Worker in a supported living project, your shifts might include a mix of 8am-3pm and 3pm-10pm throughout the week.
Bank work, also known as zero-hours contracts, offer flexibility for those who can’t commit to set hours each week but want to work shifts when available and suitable. There are no fixed hours, and you can decline shifts if they don’t fit your schedule.
On the other hand, permanent roles involve regular, contracted hours that you commit to weekly. These can be full-time (37 hours) or part-time. If you’re unsure about working full-time, you can start with a part-time contract and increase your hours later on.
This depends on the specific service or project you work in. In our supported housing projects, you’ll likely be assigned to support one service user consistently, working at the same place or project each shift.
However, in our Outreach or Learning & Leisure services, you may support different service users during your shifts. For example, you might assist two or three clients in one shift, or support one client in one shift and another client in your next shift.
Yes, ideally, we aim to provide the schedule one month in advance.
However, changes may occur due to unforeseen circumstances such as staff or service user changes, leading to delays. In some cases, you may receive a confirmed schedule one or two weeks in advance. The timing can also vary depending on the individual needs of the service users.
