About the role
We are looking for a full time (37.5 hours per week) Support Worker, who can support two gentlemen in their own homes across Buxton and Melton Constable. Both homes provide 24-hour support, with a mix of 2:1 daytime support and sleep-in shifts.

Support Worker
Location: Newquay
Salary: £12.64 – £12.92 + £60 per sleep-in shift
Hours: Flexible shifts on a 24/7 rota (planned in advance)
About the role
As a Support Worker at Brandon Trust, you’ll be part of something meaningful—supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live life in the way that suits them best. Whether it’s helping someone pursue a new hobby, build routines, plan a trip, attend their work, maintain their house or simply enjoy their day, you’ll be working alongside them to make it happen.
You’ll support with day-to-day activities like shopping, cooking, and managing health needs—always led by the person’s own preferences and goals.
You’ll also support with personal care. This means helping people with washing, dressing, and other essential personal routines. It’s a vital part of enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence. Personal care is always delivered in a respectful and person-centred way, in line with each individual's needs and preferences.
No two days are the same, and every day brings the opportunity to be part of someone’s progress and independence.
Why this role matters
You’ll be joining people on their own journeys—whether that’s growing in confidence, building friendships, or trying something new. You’ll see the real impact of your support and share in the everyday moments that matter most.
This is work with purpose. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values respect, individuality, and connection.
What we’re looking for
- A kind and thoughtful approach rooted in empathy and respect
- A genuine interest in other people’s lives, routines, and goals
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
- A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
- A commitment to inclusion and celebrating what makes each person unique
- A full UK driving licence
No experience? That’s okay.
Your values and behaviours matter more than your background. If you're someone who listens well, treats others with respect, and genuinely wants to support people to live their lives, we’ll provide everything you need to succeed. With full training, ongoing support, and development opportunities, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
About us
Brandon Trust is a charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to live life to the full. We work alongside people to help them make choices, be heard, and thrive in their communities.
We’re committed to building a diverse team and an inclusive workplace. If you need any adjustments during the application or interview process, just let us know—we’re here to support you too.
We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience.

Support Worker
Job Introduction
This position does not meet the requirements for sponsorship under current UK immigration guidelines
Would you like to be part of a small and highly specialised service which is committed to supporting me in the community?
Would you like to involve me and support me to be part of my local community?
Would you like to be well trained, well supported, well paid and know that you are making a positive difference every time you go to work?
As a Support Worker, you will make a real difference to residents' lives as you improve their daily living skills. Passionate about people, you will enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress with us.
Where will I be working?
I’m looking for caring and understanding people to support me both at home and out in my local community. I’m a woman in my 50s with autism and a moderate learning disability. Sometimes I experience high anxiety and may show behaviors of concern, such as self-injury or scratching, so I need a team who can offer patience, reassurance, and a calm approach.
It’s important to me that my support team understands autism and can help me feel safe and valued.
I love listening to music and watching films, especially anything to do with Christmas, which is my favorite time of year! I also enjoy getting out and about in the community, shopping, visiting local cafés, and catching up with friends I’ve made there.
At home, I like doing face masks, self-care activities, and baking with staff. If you’re someone who is kind, patient, and enjoys helping others live a full and happy life, I’d love to hear from you.
We use a digital social care record system, to support daily recording, which will make your day-to-day tasks easier and allows you to spend more time with the People We Support. Some aspects of this role will involve lone working.
Shift Patterns
This is a 24 hour service and will require the flexibility to work a shift pattern that includes evenings, weekends, and bank holidays in turn as part of a team. As a person-centred provision, we will look to develop shift patterns around the support needs of the people being supported, and therefore it’s unlikely that there will be a ‘standard’ shift time, and it’s likely that the pattern of work will evolve as people’s lives evolve.
Please note that the shifts may vary.
Role Responsibility
This is a hands-on job in which no two days are the same. Your duties will include:
- promoting the independence of people we support
- supporting a full range of daily activities including cleaning and cooking, days out or going away on holiday
- arranging activities in the home and in the local community
- developing individual’s life skills and personal interests
- helping individual’s to stay safe and healthy
- assisting with personal care needs
- manual handling if required
- supporting people with medication
- Ensuring record keeping is maintained to the required standard at all times and contributing to service monitoring requirements.
The Ideal Candidate
What skills and qualities do I need to have?
It is essential is that you are:
- passionate, caring and enthusiastic
- flexible, patient and non-judgemental
- a great team player with lots of energy
- able to demonstrate good communication skills
- able to complete the physical aspects of the role such as manual handling where needed
- transferable experience of helping people to manage anxiety
It is desirable that you have;
- knowledge and experience of learning disabilities and complex needs
- a full driving license and access to a vehicle with business class insurance cover.
