We’re looking for a dedicated Support Worker to join our Learning Disability service, Kittens Lane, working alongside individuals to promote independence, confidence, and personal development. From everyday routines to community activities, you’ll support people to achieve what matters to them. If respect, inclusion, and person‑centered practice guide your work, we’d love to meet you.
Location: Kittens Lane, Loddon, banks of the River Chet. The service is located just off High Bungay Road and George Lane, a short walk from the Kittens Lane bus stop served by routes 86 and X22. As public transport does not always align with shift patterns, we recommend applicants have a driving licence to ensure consistent travel to the service.
What you’ll be doing
- Work as part of a caring team to help tenants maintain independence in their daily lives.
- Support tenants to express their preferences and make decisions that matter to them.
- Deliver person‑centered support, including personal care, medication help, domestic tasks, and tenancy‑related guidance.
- Record all support provided clearly and accurately in line with CQC and Orwell expectations.
- Provide encouragement, compassion, and thoughtful support to help tenants take appropriate risks and achieve positive outcomes.
- Foster strong, respectful relationships with tenants, colleagues, family members, and professionals.
Benefits
- 22 days annual leave (pro rata) plus bank holidays (bank‑holiday work will be required as part of this role).
- Reward and recognition awards.
- Free DBS checks.
- Cashback Health plan.
- Access to Blue Light Card – membership fees apply.
- Ongoing training and development & opportunities to progress in your role through the Orwell Academy.
- Wellbeing programme.
Qualifications and Preferences
- Care Certificate is desirable.
- QCF Level 2 in Health and Social care, or equivalent, is desirable.
- A full driving licence is desirable but not essential.
