Support Worker

Dimensions; Peasedown St. John; On-site; Full time

Job description

We are growing our support team in Peasedown St. John, Bath (BA2 8JN) - could you be one of our new Support Workers?

• £12.83 per hour. Sleep nights paid at £50 per night
• Day Shifts, with sleep-ins, usually 1-2 a week
• It is essential that you hold a full, manual UK or EU Driving Licence, as the people you will be supporting ask that you are able to drive their mobility vehicles.

If you’re looking to do something more worthwhile with your time – a job that’s more meaningful, interesting, and thought-provoking than any other; a role that will challenge and encourage you to grow and achieve things you never thought possible – then you might just want to apply to become our newest Support Worker based in Peasedown, St. John.

You will be supporting six gentlemen aged under 30, and one lady in her 60's with learning disabilities and autism to live their best lives. You will be genuinely empathic and able to communicate effectively, with compassion and understanding as you support with favoured activities such as walking, shopping, visiting family and friends, day trips, arts and crafts, and cooking. You will also support with medication, personal care, and mobility needs, as required.

At Dimensions, we believe it is who you are as a person – and the difference you can bring to the lives of the people you will be supporting – that is more important than experience. Whether you are new to support work, or have supported people previously, we want to hear from you! We will give you all the training you need to become an amazing support worker for the people you will be working with. You will find no other role more personally fulfilling, and professionally rewarding, than becoming a Support Worker with Dimensions.

Dimensions is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2023 – now 5 years in a row! On top of ongoing, fully-funded training and mentoring, we offer all our colleagues generous benefits; job satisfaction and job security, genuine career prospects, and an inclusive, caring work environment that celebrates diversity, champions mental well-being, and encourages employee recognition.
