Support Worker (Gender Specific)

Start your day knowing you’ll make a difference - we are looking for a Female, WAKE NIGHT Support Worker to join our team of Support Workers in Cardiff, CF23 6XH

"Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010. In this context, "gender" refers to the sex legally assigned to an individual."

• Hourly Rate - £12.00
• Shifts: 21:00-08:30, working across a 7 day rota pattern

We are seeking a female support worker who can demonstrate a high level of integrity and initiative, to become a trusted member of our Waking Night Team.

Whilst you will only be working nights, there is an expectation that during your induction period, and for certain training and team events, you will be able to work some day hours.

This is a busy wake night role; the ladies you will be supporting have a wide range of needs, which can include gentle support, if one of the ladies has an unsettled night, and intimate personal care for one of the ladies. You will also support with tasks that enable our day team to spend time focusing on the social and emotional needs of the ladies during the day.

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 2024 – now 6 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.
