We're looking for Male Support Workers to join a dedicated team supporting a gentleman in his late 30s to live a safe, fulfilling and independent life. This is a truly rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships, providing consistent support, and making a genuine difference every day.

You'll be supporting a gentleman who is polite, engaging and naturally curious about the world around him. He enjoys getting out and about in his car, going for walks when possible, and spending time exploring his interests.

A real food enthusiast, he has a passion for cooking and loves learning about Bangladeshi and Jewish cuisine, culture and traditions. He also enjoys relaxing at home with a good film and appreciates support workers who can share conversations, encouragement and a positive outlook.

We're looking for people who are:

Calm, confident and reassuring, particularly during times of distress
Patient, emotionally resilient and able to remain steady under pressure
Proactive, with the ability to use their initiative
Comfortable following structured support plans and routines
Positive team players who value consistency
Able to bring an appropriate sense of humour and warmth to their role

This role would suit someone who is looking for more than just a job – someone who wants to be fully present, build trust, and support an individual to thrive with dignity, respect and confidence.

What Will I Be Doing?

You'll be part of a specialist support team within a structured complex-needs community setting made up of five bungalows. This is an environment where consistency, teamwork and professionalism are essential.

Your role will involve:

Supporting the gentleman with day-to-day living and community activities
Following Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plans and agreed strategies
Maintaining clear and professional boundaries
Providing calm, consistent support during behaviours of distress
Encouraging independence and promoting choice and control
Working closely with colleagues to ensure a safe and supportive environment
Helping the person you support enjoy their hobbies, interests and goals

This is a rewarding opportunity to develop specialist skills while making a lasting impact on someone's life. If you're resilient, compassionate and committed to delivering high-quality support, we'd love to hear from you.

Your Responsibilities

You’ll support him to maintain stability, independence and a meaningful routine, including:

Providing reassurance and consistency
Following behaviour support plans
Supporting through behaviours of distress
Personal care (varied levels)
Medication administration
Manual handling
Cooking, cleaning and household tasks
Supporting budgeting & daily living skills
Safe community access, including walks and trips out by car
Encouraging his interest in cooking and trying new cultural dishes

This role requires someone who is observant, proactive and confident in structured environments.
Full PBS training is provided, but previous experience in complex or challenging support is essential.

Long Day Sleep-In Shifts: 9am – 9am the following day
Day Shifts: 9am - 6pm
Sleep-Ins: 10pm – 8am (Paid to Sleep) - You will be expected to do 1 sleep in per week.
