About Dimensions
At Dimensions, you can bring your whole self to work – and be celebrated for it. Guided by respect and strengthened by partnership, you’ll belong to a community that values difference, listens deeply and acts with kindness. With integrity at the heart of what we do, and the right tools, adjustments and opportunities, you’ll have everything you need to thrive. Together, we’ll keep building a workplace where everyone feels seen, supported and truly included. Because when you can be you, we can make an even greater difference – together.
About the role
- Support Worker
- Part time – 28 hours per week
- Full UK driving licence essential (must be able to drive automatic)
- Muswell Hill, Edgware and Barnet.
We’re recruiting Support Workers to work across four supported living homes in our London locality, supporting adults aged between their 30s and 70s. This role offers variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships across different settings, while always keeping consistency and person-centred support at its heart.
Three of the homes are single-person supported living homes, where you’ll provide dedicated 1:1 support to one gentleman per home, each living independently in their own flat within the community. The fourth home is a larger supported living setting, made up of seven self-contained flats, currently supporting eight people. While the environments differ, the focus remains the same, enabling each person to live a life that makes sense to them, on their own terms.
The people we support have learning disabilities and a range of additional needs, including mobility, physical health, mental health, and behaviours of distress. Some individuals require full physical support, while others are more independent and live very active lives. You’ll need to feel confident moving between homes and locations, adapting your support while maintaining the same high standard of care and professionalism throughout.
Your role will involve providing personal care with dignity and respect, supporting both men and women. You’ll support people who use wheelchairs and bath hoists and assist with nutrition, including preparing pureed meals, providing full eating support, and carrying out PEG feeding and medication administration via PEG. You’ll also be responsible for safe food preparation, cooking fresh meals from scratch rather than using ready meals.
Just as important is supporting people to live full and active lives. For some, that might mean going to the gym, cinema, cafés, or day trips every day, sometimes more than once. Others enjoy shopping, visiting family, watching football, listening to music, taking part in arts and crafts, learning new skills, or engaging with sensory hobbies.
This is a part-time role for 28 hours per week, offering genuine flexibility. Shifts span days, wake nights, long days, and sleep-ins, depending on the home you’re supporting. Typical long days may run from 8am to 11pm, with a sleep-in from 11pm to 8am where required.
About you
You don’t need previous experience in care, full training and induction are provided but you do need the right values and attitude. We’re looking for people who are kind, patient, and reliable; who are comfortable providing hands-on support; and who are motivated by helping others live meaningful, independent lives.
You’ll be working both independently and as part of a team, supporting people with a wide range of needs, so flexibility, resilience, and strong communication skills are essential.
Due to the nature of the role, a full UK manual driving licence is required, and you must be confident driving an automatic car. The people we support have their own vehicles, so you won’t need to provide your own.
Rewards that make a difference
- A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work
- Flexible shift patterns to suit your needs
- 30 days paid Annual Leave (including public holidays – pro rata)
- Opportunities for career progression
- Supported ‘Learn to Drive’ scheme (up to 30 driving lessons, 1 theory/practical test - all paid for by us)

At One Fylde we like to view our Support Workers more as "life coaches" being able to provide guidance to the people we support as well as have the tools and knowledge of handling bills, supporting to increase one's self esteem, be an agony aunt, a chef when helping with cooking and a tour guide when travelling abroad!
Our focus is to support people to live as independently as possible, to maintain their home environment, and manage their health, finances, social activities, hobbies and interests, this could be anything from supporting someone to manage their weekly shop, visit friends and family or even to go on Holiday.
Not every day is the same in supported living, you have to be adaptable to the people you are supporting and punctual with your time management. Most of our support revolves around supporting our individuals to access the community whether this is supporting someone swimming, to the cinema, golf or slimming world.
Are you compassionate and patient? Do you have strong communication skills and love working with people? Do you have the ability to work flexibly, including evenings and weekends? Are you a team player?
For those of you who have not done support work before, full training will be given, in fact we offer full and wide-ranging training opportunities for all, in a charity that encourages personal development.
Key responsibilities:
- Maintaining a quality service
