Living in a beautifully presented four bedroom bungalow, the people you will be supporting are aged between 40-75 years and have a range of support needs, including autism, Downs Syndrome, cerebral palsy and associated mobility and health needs.

Each day, a member of the team is on shift from 14:00 one day, until 14:00 the next, sleeping in the bungalow at night, to be on hand if there were an emergency.  In addition, there are flexible day shifts each day, which are planned to meet the needs of the people we support.

At Dimensions, we believe it is who you are as a person – and the difference you can bring to the lives of the people you will be supporting – that is more important than experience. Whether you are new to support work, or have supported people previously, we want to hear from you!   We will give you all the training you need to be become an amazing support worker for the people you will be working with.   You will find no other role more personally fulfilling, and professionally rewarding, than becoming a Support Worker with Dimensions.
