Join a small team and make a real difference

Hi, I'm an autistic woman with mild learning disabilities and some complex health needs. I live independently in Herne Bay with support from SeeAbility, and I'm looking for caring, calm and confident Support Workers to join my team.

This is an opportunity to build a meaningful relationship and support me to live the life I choose. I enjoy shopping, relaxing at home and learning new skills. I value people who are kind, dependable and have a good sense of humour. Sometimes I need extra reassurance or space, so patience, understanding and consistency are important.

You'll be supported by an experienced team, including behaviour support specialists, to help you succeed.

Shift pattern

This role includes:

  • Monday waking night
  • Tuesday waking night
  • Wednesday waking night
  • Alternate Friday late shift
  • Alternate Sunday early shift

What you'll be doing

  • Supporting me with daily routines and activities I enjoy
  • Encouraging my independence, confidence and life skills
  • Following personalised behaviour support plans
  • Helping to create a calm and positive home environment
  • Building a trusting and supportive relationship with me

About you

We're looking for someone who is calm, resilient, caring and reliable.

To be considered, you'll need experience in at least two of the following areas:

  • Supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities
  • Mental health services or acute treatment units
  • Positive Behaviour Support
  • Trauma-informed support
  • Supporting physical behaviours that challenge
  • Providing compassionate support in complex situations

Experience supporting someone moving from an Assessment and Treatment Unit to supported living would be an advantage.

Could you be the right person for my team?

  • Do you enjoy supporting people to live the life they choose?
  • Can you stay calm when things are difficult?
  • Are you kind, patient and reliable?
  • Do you like building trust and helping people grow in confidence?
  • Do you want a role where you can make a real difference every day?

If you answered yes, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll need

  • Good spoken and written English
  • Experience in a care or support setting
  • A full UK manual driving licence is desirable
  • The right to live and work in the UK

Why join SeeAbility?

  • Guaranteed hours for security and consistency
  • Paid training and development to support your career
  • A supportive team that values your contribution
  • Stream (formerly Wagestream) for flexible access to earned pay
  • A rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference every day

This is more than a job. It's a chance to become an important part of someone's life, supporting them to achieve their goals and live independently.

Apply today and help someone live a full, independent and meaningful life.
