Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way
You will be supporting our lady in their home in Wimblington. She loves listening to pop music and, amongst other things, getting out and about. Your role will involve taking the initiative to promote independence while building a meaningful connection with her.
We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can’t teach you, is the stuff that comes from within:

✨ That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step.
In essence, that’s what we are looking for from you.
What does it mean to be a support worker?

In this role, you will:
- Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
- Adjust your approach to meet people’s needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
- Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.
People are at the heart of everything we do and as a support worker you will embody our core values by:
Working together
- Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with
- Communicating openly and building trust.
- Helping each other to provide the best support possible.
Giving our best
- Being dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives.
- Whether the day was easy or tough, taking responsibility for your actions and focusing on what matters most to those who you support.
Having courage
- Being open to new ideas and approaches.
- Using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others.
- Providing the most effective and adaptable support possible.

- Simply Health- Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians, and access to many more health benefits.
- Blue light card– we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants
