Job Description:
We are seeking energetic and reliable Support Workers to join our dedicated team in a scenic rural setting.

Key Responsibilities:
As a Support Worker based in the rural area, your daily duties will include:

  • Supporting residents in their daily lives, fostering independence, confidence, resilience, and personal growth.
  • Engaging residents in farm-related and outdoor activities, including tending to the land and participating in recreational outings.
  • Assisting with social, recreational, and skill-building programmes tailored to individual interests and abilities.
  • Working collaboratively with a supportive team to create a safe, enriching environment for all residents.
  • Supporting residents with their participation in social activities such as local discos, pub visits, film nights, and games.

Requirements & Qualifications:
To be successful as a Support Worker, you will need:

  • A genuine passion for supporting individuals with learning disabilities.
  • A proactive and positive attitude.
  • Flexibility to adapt to a variety of indoor and outdoor activities.
  • Willingness to support residents in attending their chosen place of worship as required.
  • The ability to drive and take residents out in the service vehicle.
  • Previous experience in care or support work is advantageous but not essential; a positive attitude and willingness to learn are equally valued.
  • Mandatory compliance includes a full UK driving licence and, ideally, an enhanced DBS check.

Benefits & Work Environment:

  • Competitive salary with regular pay reviews.
  • A scenic, purpose-filled working environment with a strong sense of community.
  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
  • Free DBS check and training provided.
  • The chance to make a meaningful difference in residents’ lives within a supportive team.
