Ready to take the next step in your care career?

At FitzRoy Gressenhall, we support four older gentlemen with learning disabilities and physical disabilities in a peaceful, homely bungalow surrounded by the Norfolk countryside.

We’re looking for an experienced, caring and motivated Senior Support Worker to join our dedicated team and help lead the delivery of outstanding person-centred support.

• Driving FitzRoy’s accessible vehicles for outings and appointments
• Maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance with care standards

• A positive, person-centred approach and passion for delivering high-quality care
• Confidence leading shifts and supporting colleagues
• Good communication, organisational and record-keeping skills
• A full UK manual driving licence
