Make a Real Difference Every Day
Are you a compassionate, curious, and caring individual looking to develop your skills in complex care? Do you enjoy building meaningful relationships and helping someone live life to the fullest?
Welcome to Active Care Group—one of the UK's largest and most trusted providers of complex care. We're building a brand-new team of passionate Support Workers to support our incredible client in his family home in the charming village of Mere, Wiltshire.
Meet the Client:
Our client is an 80-year-old RAF veteran and former engineer, businessman, and teacher who is making excellent progress in his rehabilitation following a respiratory and cardiac arrest and stroke nearly three years ago. He requires a tracheostomy and enteral feeding tube to support his ongoing health needs.
Despite these challenges, he leads an active and fulfilling life. He enjoys attending model railway events, working on projects in his dedicated hobby room, going to the gym two to three times a week, and following football.
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.
You will be supporting a warm, friendly gentleman with a great sense of humour who lives with his wife in a welcoming family home. This is an opportunity to provide meaningful support, companionship, and encouragement, helping him continue to enjoy the activities that bring him purpose and enjoyment.
Shifts Available
- Days 8am - 8:30pm (up to 4 day shifts a week available)
- Waking Nights - 8:30pm - 8am (2 nights available)
You'll work with one individual, allowing you to build a consistent and trusted relationship while becoming part of a dedicated care team. Although hours are generally regular and consistent, the position is offered on a zero-hours contract.
Please note: Due to the rural location of the client's home, a driving licence and access to transport are required. We are happy to discuss travel arrangements with candidates travelling from further afield.
What You'll Be Doing:
This is more than a care role. You'll support our client both at home and in the community, helping him maintain his independence and quality of life while managing complex respiratory care needs.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll receive specialist training from the highly regarded Lane Fox Remeo Unit, alongside ongoing clinical support and guidance from our Clinical Nurse Manager, ensuring you feel confident and fully supported in your role.
