Senior Support Worker
Package Description
Are you ready to make a real difference in someone’s life?
Are you ready to take the lead and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives? We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Senior Support Worker to work across our supported living services in the Grantham area, delivering and overseeing high-quality support for individuals with learning disabilities and/or difficulties, autism, and complex needs.
In this role, you’ll support people to live as independently as possible within their own homes, promoting choice, control, and inclusion in everyday life. You’ll play a key role in ensuring each person receives tailored, person-centred support that reflects their goals, preferences, and aspirations.
Reporting to the Registered Manager, you’ll divide your time between hands-on support and leadership or administrative responsibilities. Alongside supporting the individuals, you’ll also provide day-to-day guidance and leadership to the staff teams across both services—helping to coordinate shifts, maintain high standards of care, and ensure services run smoothly, safely, and in line with best practice and regulatory requirements. This is a varied and rewarding role where you can make a real impact on both the people we support and your colleagues.
About The People You’ll Be Supporting
You’ll be supporting individuals with learning disabilities and/or difficulties, autism, and complex needs. Each person has their own unique personality, communication style, routines, and level of independence. Some people enjoy being active in their local community and engaging in social activities, while others prefer quieter, structured, home-based routines.
Your role is to enable each person to live the life they choose—supporting them with daily living skills, communication, emotional regulation, and decision-making, while promoting independence wherever possible. You’ll take a proactive, person-centred approach, including positive behaviour support where appropriate, to ensure individuals feel safe, understood, and valued in their own homes.
