About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
The Person Centred Support Worker plays a crucial role in enabling adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) to live meaningful, connected and fulfilling lives. The role focuses on delivering compassionate, consistent and highly personalised support that recognises each individual’s unique strengths, communication style, sensory needs and aspirations.
- You will support people with all aspects of daily living, including personal care, mobility, communication, eating and drinking, and engagement in structured activities.
- A key part of the role is creating an environment where individuals feel safe, respected and empowered, using person centred approaches that promote dignity, choice and wellbeing.
- You will help people access the Hub and the wider community safely, following the arrangements outlined in their support plans. This includes supporting individuals to participate in sensory, therapeutic, social and leisure activities that enhance their quality of life and encourage meaningful engagement.
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.
Your contribution will extend beyond direct care: you will observe and record changes in needs, contribute to support planning, communicate effectively with families and professionals, and play an active role in maintaining a positive, inclusive and stimulating environment. The role requires patience, creativity, emotional resilience and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of people with complex needs.
About The Team
Ermine Road Community Hub is a specialist service within Haringey’s day opportunities offer, providing high quality support for adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities. The team is dedicated to creating a warm, inclusive and person centred environment where individuals can develop skills, maintain independence, build relationships and enjoy meaningful experiences.
The team is multidisciplinary in practice, working closely with families, carers, therapists, health professionals and colleagues across the Haringey Learning Disability Partnership. This collaborative approach ensures that each person receives coordinated, holistic support tailored to their physical, sensory, emotional and social needs.
About The Role
We are looking for someone who is compassionate, patient and deeply committed to person centred care. You will bring a calm, respectful and thoughtful approach to supporting people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, recognising the importance of communication, sensory engagement and emotional connection.
- You should have the ability to build trusting relationships, work collaboratively within a team and adapt your approach to meet complex and changing needs.
- Experience in personal care, manual handling, communication support (including non verbal communication), or supporting people with high health and sensory needs is highly beneficial, though a strong commitment to learning and high quality care is equally valued.
- You will be someone who pays attention to detail, follows support plans carefully, and contributes positively to a safe and nurturing environment.
