The Swindon Young Parents service is split across two sites: one in Toothill and one in Pinehurst. We provided strength-based and trauma-informed support to customers aged 16-25 who have become or are about to become young parents.

Support Workers provide both 1-2-1 support to customers and run larger group activities with a focus on maintaining their homes, tenancies, providing for their families and being good neighbours and tenants.

In addition to support tasks like multi-agency liaison and advocacy; the Support Workers at the scheme take a lead on ensuring safe homes are provided to our customers and will support customers to raise repairs, keep on top of their rent and service charge, and monitor for Health and Safety issues around the sites.

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 friendly and supportive people to join my support team and help me live life to the fullest in my home in Castleford and out in the local community.

I’m a man with Fragile X syndrome and a mild to moderate learning disability. Sometimes I experience high anxiety and need plenty of reassurance, and I can show some complex behaviours. That’s why it’s really important to me that my support team understands my needs and approaches things with patience, consistency, and reliability.

I’m looking for support worker who can bring a playful attitude and a good sense of humour, while also setting clear boundaries when needed. If you’re caring, understanding, and ready to make a positive difference, you could be the right fit for me.

When I’m not at home, I love listening to music, watching films, playing Xbox, and going on day trips. If you share some of these interests and enjoy helping others live their best 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.

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a cult...
