Care Support Worker – Flexible Part Time

At the Dick Stewart Service, we provide supported accommodation for male ex-offenders, helping them transition back into the community after prison. Our dedicated team works around the clock, offering guidance on independent living skills such as budgeting, cooking, and self-care, while also supporting residents to engage with programmes that address offending behaviour. You’ll have the chance to work closely with people who are ready for a fresh start, helping them achieve their goals and prepare for life beyond our accommodation. As a Support Worker at the Dick Stewart Service, you will play a vital role in assisting male exoffenders as they transition back into the community. Joining us on a temporary sixmonth contract, you will work closely with clients to provide structured support in daily tasks such as budgeting, personal care, and developing independent living skills. You will also contribute to the creation and implementation of personalised support plans, working alongside senior staff to ensure each client receives the care and guidance they need. This position requires flexibility, as you will work a varied shift pattern including day, evening, and sleepover shifts to help provide 24hour support for clients. Your responsibilities will include attending meetings and case conferences, completing report writing, and supporting clients with appointments, lifeskills development, and personal challenges. Beyond providing practical support, you will uphold CrossReach’s Christian ethos, ensuring all interactions reflect our values of care, dignity, and respect. You will also be encouraged to engage in professional development and supervision throughout your contract to continually enhance the support you provide. We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others. Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life’s challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most. But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
