Is community important to you? Are you outgoing, passionate and courteous?
Become a Support Worker.
What matters to the people we support matters to us. It’s their life, their way.
We are looking for someone to join our team supporting a gentleman with Learning Disabilities in his own home in Kempston, Bedfordshire.
If you are good at cooking, managing a budget, planning and managing your time. Or just passionate about helping others, then you could be part of our team supporting people to maintain or learn new skills needed to live their best life!
This gentleman enjoys getting out and about and have his own vehicle, so you will need to be a driver and willing to drive his car. For this you should have a full UK manual driving licence and have held it for at least 1 year for insurance purposes.
This is a part time role for 15 hours per week, and you should be available to work shifts across the week and some weekends.
So, if you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.

What will we do?
We will train you in everything you need to be a great support worker. We will apply and pay for your enhanced DBS, and we have a mentorship scheme in place to provide support and guide you on your journey with us.

We offer Wagestream - a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
What will you do?
Supporting people is really important but it’s not all shopping trips and cooking. We also support people to take medication, assist with personal care, make healthy lifestyle choices and maintain their home in a way that they feel safe, well and happy.
