Job Description
Female Support Worker - Swindon
Help Local People Live Their Best Lives with Lifeways
Are you looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference in your local community every day?
At Lifeways, we support people with learning disabilities and complex needs to live fulfilling, independent lives. Right now, we're looking for compassionate, reliable, and enthusiastic Female Support Workers to join our friendly team in Swindon.
Whether you're experienced in care or completely new to the sector, we'll provide all the training, support, and development opportunities you need to build a rewarding career while helping others achieve their goals.
This isn't just a job. It's an opportunity to become an important part of someone's life, helping them gain confidence, enjoy new experiences, and remain connected to their community.
Meet the People You'll Be Supporting
You'll be supporting two gentlemen and one lady with learning disabilities and epilepsy to live independently, pursue their interests, and enjoy day-to-day life.
Together, You'll Enjoy Activities Such As
- Swimming
- Shopping trips
- Zumba classes
- Ice skating (although skating skills are not required, professional support is available)
No two days are the same. One day you may be helping someone attend a local activity, and the next you could be supporting them to develop new life skills, meet friends, or achieve a personal goal.
