About the role
We're looking for a confident, proactive and engaging Support Worker to join our team in Worcester (WR2), supporting a gentleman in his 50s living independently following a brain injury.

This is a highly personalised 1:1 role with some 2:1 support during morning routines, offering the opportunity to build a strong, supportive relationship and make a genuine difference every day.

You'll be working both independently and as part of a small team, balancing support with independence - knowing when to step in and when to step back.
Who you will be supporting
You'll be supporting a friendly, outgoing and sociable gentleman who enjoys a varied and active lifestyle.

He enjoys:

Going out for food, drinks and socialising

Attending concerts, gigs and shows

Music - especially rock (from Led Zeppelin to Girls Aloud!)

Watching films and relaxing at home

Motorsport and visiting events like Shelsley Walsh hill climbs

Spending time out in the community

He has a great sense of humour, is caring towards others, and enjoys engaging with people - so a similar personality will go a long way.
What you will be doing
This is a flexible and engaging role that includes:

Providing personal care support (including morning routines with 2:1 support)

Supporting independence and daily routines

Planning and supporting activities, outings and events

Preparing meals and supporting healthy routines

Administering medication

Supporting mobility and using equipment where required

Offering companionship, humour and emotional support

Respecting downtime and personal space

You'll play an important role in helping him continue to live life on his terms.
Shift patterns
This is a 30-hour role, including:

Day shifts: 9:00am - 5:00pm

Long day + sleep-in: 4:45pm - 11:00am (next day) (1-2 per week)

Sleep-in hours: 11:00pm - 8:00am (£50 paid to sleep)

Rotas are provided in advance to support work-life balance.
About you
You'll be a great fit if you are:

A strong communicator, confident in lone working

Proactive and able to plan engaging activities

Friendly, fun and have a great sense of humour

Respectful of independence and personal boundaries

Flexible and adaptable to changing needs

Reliable and organised

Someone who enjoys getting out and about

A confident manual driver

Experience is helpful but not essential - full training will be provided.
Family involvement
There is minimal family involvement, so building a strong, consistent relationship is especially important in this role.
Rewards that make a difference

A competitive pay rate with uplift for overtime you choose to work

Flexible shift patterns to support your needs

30 days' paid annual leave (including public holidays - pro rata)

Opportunities for career progression

Supported Learn to Drive scheme (where applicable)

Salary advance scheme - access up to 50% earned pay before payday
