About Dimensions
At Dimensions, every day is a chance to make a real difference. You’ll be part of a values-led, inclusive organisation where your work creates moments that matter, helping people live life their way. Recognised for sector-leading support and development, we’ll invest in you through training, coaching and career pathways so you can grow and thrive. If you’re looking for meaningful work, a supportive team, and the chance to be proud of what you do every day, you’ll find it here.
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.
- Melton Constable: A gentleman in his 40s who loves music, playing instruments (organ and guitar), swimming, sports, and trips to theme parks and shows. He enjoys holidays and meals out and would love someone who shares his enthusiasm for exploring.
- Buxton: Life with him is centred around going for drives in his car and walking outdoors, and these are the moments where he feels most content. He is able to do many things independently, but he may need encouragement or support with personal care and cooking. He communicates through gestures and objects of reference rather than words, and he builds unique relationships with those who support him. He requires support with behaviours of distress and benefits from patient, understanding staff. Full training, including PBS, will be provided.
Shift patterns include earlies, lates, long days, and sleep-ins, with flexibility required for weekends and bank holidays. A separate staff bedroom is available for overnight stays.
About you
You bring empathy, reliability and a calm, solution-focused approach. You’re comfortable with personal care, can follow support plans, and communicate clearly. Whether you’re experienced or new to social care, we’ll equip you with the skills to succeed—through induction, PBS training, and ongoing development (including Dimensions Academy and Aspire). Above all, you’re enthusiastic and motivated to help people live ordinary, active lives in their community.
A manual driving licence and access to a car are essential for both homes.
Rewards that make a difference
- Competitive Pay– Attractive hourly rates and permanent contracts.
- Generous Annual Leave– 30 days (including bank holidays), rising to 35 days with service.

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.
