Make a real difference every day
Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can support adults with additional needs to live fulfilling, meaningful and as independent a life as possible?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
Our supported living house in Cranleigh is part of St Joseph’s Specialist Trust. We support adults with a range of needs, including autism, learning difficulties and language and communication challenges.
We’re looking for a caring, compassionate and resilient female Supported Living Worker to join our friendly and supportive team. The role involves supporting a female resident, and a female member of staff if therefore required to meet our staffing arrangements and maintain appropriate levels of privacy and dignity.
No previous experience is required. What matters most is your empathy, patience, positive attitude and willingness to learn. We’ll provide a comprehensive induction, specialist training and ongoing support to help you develop the skills and confidence you need to thrive in the role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Due to the nature of the role, you will need to be physically, mentally and emotionally resilient and comfortable supporting someone with a range of needs.
What you’ll be doing
As a Supported Living Worker, you’ll play an important role in helping our tenants develop their independence and enjoy everyday life.
Your Day-to-day Responsibilities May Include
- Supporting tenants with daily living activities such as cooking, cleaning and shopping
- Supporting tenants to access the local community and take part in activities and trips
- Accompanying Tenants To College, Appointments And Other Activities
- Supporting tenants to enjoy their leisure time and pursue their interests
- Encouraging independence and helping tenants develop confidence and life skills
- Providing patient and consistent support when tenants may feel anxious, frustrated or overwhelmed.
You’ll receive full training to help you support tenants safely and effectively, including Team Teach positive behaviour training, which is fully funded and refreshed annually.
Because of our semi-rural location, a full driving licence and access to your own transport is highly desirable. You may be required to drive tenants or staff using your own vehicle, with appropriate insurance, or a company vehicle.
