About the role

- 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)
