Role: Female Support Worker (Full-time 37.5 hours per week)
Salary: £12.31 per hour
At Dimensions, we’re proud to be an award-winning, not-for-profit organisation that supports people with learning disabilities and autism to live fulfilling, independent lives. We’re values-led, people-focused, and passionate about making a difference.
The Role
We’re currently looking for a Support Worker to join our team in East Finchley. You’ll be supporting four adults, two women and two gentlemen, aged between mid-40’s to 60’s. They love music, dancing, and karaoke, and their smiles light up the room when they’re enjoying themselves.
This is a female support worker position where you’ll be working as part of a larger team. During the day, three staff are on shift, and two staff cover waking nights. The people we support have learning disabilities, epilepsy, and dysphagia (which means there’s a risk of choking), and some may display self-injurious behaviours. One person receives 1:1 support, and the people we support may not use words to communicate, so being observant, intuitive, and responsive is essential.
We’re looking for someone who is caring and full of energy, someone who enjoys being out and about, whether that’s visiting day centres, going to the park or visiting the local pub, You’ll need to be comfortable providing full personal care and preparing meals, and you’ll be supported to learn about Positive Behaviour Support through coaching and input from behavioural consultants.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include helping with shopping, cooking, cleaning, and medication, as well as supporting emotional wellbeing. You’ll also use digital tools to log daily notes and complete training.
Shifts are typically 7:00am–2:30pm or 2:30pm–10:00pm, with long days (7:00am–10:00pm). Weekend work is required every other weekend.
