Mencap are seeking Female Support Workers to join our friendly and dedicated team in Yaxley.
As a Female Support Worker, you’ll have the chance to make a real and positive difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities. You’ll be supporting individuals with a wide range of abilities and needs, helping them live happy, fulfilling and independent lives.
From supporting with everyday activities to offering emotional reassurance and encouragement, you’ll play an important part in supporting people to achieve the things that matter most to them.
What we’re looking for:
- A genuine passion for supporting others and making a difference
- Good communication skills and the ability to build positive, meaningful relationships
- Flexibility to work a range of shifts, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays
- A warm, positive and empathetic approach when supporting people with learning disabilities
This role requires you to be a driver.

All of our services provide 24‑hour care. Rotas are prepared at least 4 weeks in advance, giving you the opportunity to plan your personal and social life.
There is also a non‑contractual sleep‑in available, paid at an enhanced flat rate of £64.20 per sleep‑in.
Mencap holds a Home Office sponsorship licence; however, due to current restrictions on our allocation of Certificates of Sponsorship, we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role. Applicants must therefore have the right to work in the UK without the need for sponsorship.

All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references.
We are an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation and we particularly welcome and encourage disabled applicants and those from the Black and Asian communities to apply for the role as they are under‑represented within the workforce.
