Position: Full Time - 30hrs per week
Salary: £14.01
Full UK/EU Manual or Automatic Driving Licence Required
FULL TRAINING PROVIDED
At Dimensions, every day is a chance to make a real difference. As a Female Support Worker, you’ll bring purpose and stability to someone’s life – helping to enjoy the routines and moments that matter most to the person. Recognised as a Great Place to Work for seven years running, we’ll support you to grow, feel valued, and take pride in the difference you make every single day.
We are recruiting dedicated and reliable support workers in Sheffield (S35) to work with a young lady in her late 20s. She enjoys an active lifestyle and thrives when she is busy. Her interests include cooking and baking, arts and crafts, swimming, cycling, long walks, and visiting theme parks. She responds well to people who are energetic, encouraging and happy to take part in activities alongside her.
The lady we support can experience behaviours of distress and may also be triggered by certain sensory sensitivities, including specific fabrics, textures and visually cluttered environments. For this reason, the idealcandidate will be calm, observant and able to maintain a low-stimulus, well-organised setting. You will need to adapt your approach thoughtfully, offering reassurance, structure and emotional support when needed. Full positive behaviour support training will be provided; however, previous experience supporting individuals with complex needs is essential.
This role would suit someone who leads an active lifestyle, is emotionally resilient, and understands the importance of providing consistent, calm and predictable care.
The Role
Shifts patterns are 7.30am – 7.30pm on full time basis
Applications will be shortlisted on receipt and interviews will be held until the posts are filled.
