You must hold a Full UK Driving Licence to apply for this role.

Our support workers are the heart of everything we do. We want you to empower the people we support to live their lives how they want to, whether that’s traveling the world or spending time in their local park! All we ask is that you have the commitment and drive to encourage and guide the people we support to make this happen.
This position is all about building relationships with the people you will be supporting while helping them with their day-to-day routine in line with their personal support plans such as dressing, personal care, finances, medication, attending any appointments along with employment, volunteering and hobbies.
Your role
Previous experience in a Support Worker type role is not essential but an awareness of learning disabilities and challenging behaviour is. What is most important is that you are an empathetic, resilient and robust individual with a genuine passion for supporting others. Having the ability to think on your feet is an important skill for this role as it means that you will be able to adapt to the needs of the people you are supporting.
As part of your role, you will be using a digital app called Nourish, where all care and support plans of the people we support are held. Experience of using a digital or mobile app would be desirable; however full training will be given.
Please note that this role will involve elements of evening, weekend and bank holiday work as well as sleep-in shifts so flexibility is essential.
The needs of this service do require the successful applicant to hold a full UK driving licence. The successful applicant will also be subject to an enhanced DBS check the cost of which will be met by United Response.
