Make a Real Difference

We are excited to welcome an experienced Support Worker to join our supported living homes in Ferndown. If you’re someone who leads with empathy, champions quality of life, and believes in supporting people to live the lives they choose, while building genuine, trusted relationships, this could be the role for you.

What’s in It for You?

  • Guaranteed hours – stability you can rely on

  • A supportive and friendly team – you’ll never be on your own
  • Stream (formerly Wagestream) – access your pay when you need it

Is This You?

Do you stay calm when things take time?
Can you explain information clearly and more than once if needed?
Do you value routine, structure and helping others feel safe and confident?

This is a physical, hands‑on role, and to succeed you’ll have:

• Good spoken and written English
• A full UK manual driving licence
• The right to live and work in the UK
• A practical, active approach to work, with the ability to support people throughout the day
• A caring, positive and resilient mindset

If you genuinely care about people, we can teach you the rest.

How Will You Make a Difference  

As a Support Worker, you’ll help people live fuller, more independent lives by:

  • Supporting daily routines from morning to bedtime
  • Planning and enjoying person‑centred activities — walks, swimming, shopping and trips out
  • Building trusted, respectful relationships that support confidence and wellbeing
  • Keeping clear and accurate records
  • Working closely with colleagues and professionals

This is a role where building strong relationships is just as important as providing practical support. Please see below links about the role of a Support Worker.
