Bank Advanced Support Worker
Advanced Support Worker
Location: Barrow-in-Furness | Bank | Driving Licence Required
Are you an experienced, compassionate support professional ready to take the next step in your career? In Barrow-in-Furness we’re looking for an Advanced Support Worker who not only delivers exceptional care but also mentors and inspires others to do the same.
About Our Service
This is a vibrant supported living service made up of three individual flats, each tailored to the unique needs and preferences of the people who live there. Currently home to two outgoing and fun-loving gentlemen, we’re preparing to welcome a third tenant soon.
Each flat reflects the personality of its resident — from sensory rooms to minimalist spaces — and our tenants are actively involved in shaping their own support plans. Whether it’s enjoying a walk, heading to the pub, relaxing in the garden, or planning a trip out, we support people to live life their way — with independence, dignity, and joy.
What Makes Our Homes Special
- Totally personalised support — no two days are the same
- Collaborative care — we work closely with families and professionals
- Holistic wellbeing — promoting choice, independence, and inclusion
- Community connection — from swimming and shopping to socialising
- A culture of kindness — laughter, happiness, and compassion are key
- Continuous evolution — support is never finished; we grow together
