Make a Real Difference, Every Day
We're looking for an experienced, compassionate Support Worker to provide dedicated one-to-one support to an adult with learning disabilities in Worksop, whose support needs include behaviours of concern. This is a role built around therapeutic, person-centred care, helping the person we support build routine, confidence, and genuine independence in their own home and community.
You'll need the confidence, patience, and consistency to support someone through both good days and harder ones, always with dignity, choice, and their long-term wellbeing at the centre of what you do.
About The Role
This is a single-person support role, so consistency of approach matters enormously. You'll work from an individualised support plan and positive behaviour support (PBS) framework, helping the person we support:
- Build and sustain daily routines that promote stability and independence
- Access their local community, shopping, leisure, appointments, social activities in ways that reflect their own choices and interests
- Develop confidence in making decisions about their own life, from small daily choices to longer-term goals
- Navigate anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or behaviours of concern using a calm, trauma-informed, non-reactive approach
- Maintain relationships with family and the wider care team in a way that feels safe and consistent
