"Love the job role, some days it doesn't feel like work at all!"
– Current Support Worker

If you're looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships, make a genuine difference and support people in a warm, homely environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the role

We're looking for a patient, compassionate and adaptable Female Support Worker to join our team in Malmesbury (SN16), supporting a brother and sister in their 50s with Down's syndrome and learning disabilities.

This is a highly personalised 1:1 support service, where understanding each person's individuality is key. The lady is outgoing, vibrant and loves holidays, especially trips to Butlin's. Her brother prefers quieter environments, enjoys trains and public transport, and thrives with calm, consistent support. One of his most memorable experiences was a holiday focused around his love of steam trains.

You'll support with personal care, medication, meal preparation and healthy eating. The gentleman also requires support with diet management and portion control. Some behaviours of distress may occur, but full training and ongoing support will be provided.

This is a role where small moments, patience and genuine connection can make a huge difference.

Shifts:

9:00am – 3:00pm
9:00am – 5:00pm
Long day + sleep-in: 9:00am – 9:00am (following day)
Evening + sleep-in: 5:00pm – 9:00am (following day)
Sleep-ins: 10:00pm – 7:00am (£50 paid to sleep)

Rotas are provided in advance to support a healthy work-life balance.
