Do you want to make a real difference in someone’s life — and be part of a team that feels like family?
At FitzRoy Gressenhall, we support four older gentlemen with learning disabilities and physical disabilities in a peaceful, homely bungalow surrounded by countryside. Their personalities shine through in everything they do — from enjoying countryside drives and birdwatching to relaxing with a café lunch or a trip to the pub. We’re looking for warm, compassionate part time support worker who can offer flexible support tailored to each person’s individual needs.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Support Worker, no two days are ever the same. Your role will be to:
- Build trusting relationships with the people we support, helping them feel safe, valued and empowered
- Support with daily routines like personal care, dressing, medication and meals
- Encourage independence with tasks like cooking, laundry, cleaning and budgeting
- Get out and about – driving our accessible vehicles to take the people we support to appointments, shops, the coast, or even just a scenic drive
- Join in on activities that bring joy and purpose – whether that’s watching wildlife, playing music, gardening, or socialising over lunch
- Keep accurate records and follow individual support plans
- Work flexibly across early, late, and weekend shifts to meet the needs of the people we support
What You’ll Need
- A full UK manual driving licence – you’ll be driving our accessible vehicles
- Your own reliable transport – our location is rural with limited public transport
- A positive, respectful and person-centred approach to care
- Confidence to support people with complex needs, with full training provided
- Willingness to work weekends and take part in shared team responsibility
