Support Worker in Caerphilly, United Kingdom

This isn't about fitting people into routines. It's about supporting people to make their own choices, have their voices heard, and live the lives they choose. Plans can change, no two days are the same, and we're looking for people who can think on their feet, stay positive, and find solutions rather than barriers.

You'll be someone who puts the people we support at the centre of every decision, working with people, not for them to encourage independence, build confidence, and maximise choice and control over their lives. You'll respect individual preferences and wishes, communicate with empathy, listen carefully, and adapt positively when plans change. We're looking for someone who can think creatively, problem-solve, and find solutions rather than barriers, encouraging people to take part in activities at home and in their community. Most importantly, you'll have a genuinely person-centred approach, always asking "How can we make this happen?" rather than "Why can't it be done?".

We have part-time opportunities available at 30.5 and 25.5 hours per week. Our service operates 24/7 and flexibility is essential.

Shift patterns include: 7am-3pm, 11am-7pm, 3pm-9.30pm with waking nights and sleep in shifts in addition to day shifts. You'll work as part of a rolling rota, helping to provide consistent, high-quality support.

A full UK driving licence is required as you'll be driving manual & automatic Motability vehicles.

If you’re passionate about making a positive impact and want to work alongside truly inspiring people, we’d love to hear from you!
