Support Worker - Newbiggin by the Sea
Job Description
Make a Real Difference Every Day
Do you want a career where you genuinely change lives?
We are looking for compassionate, resilient, and motivated Support Workers to join our team supporting individuals with learning disabilities and autism. This is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to empower people to live fulfilling, independent lives while achieving things others may have said were not possible.
About The Role
As a Support Worker, you’ll provide person-centred support tailored to each individual’s needs, helping them to:
- Build independence and life skills
- Access the community and take part in meaningful activities
- Develop communication and emotional regulation skills
- Achieve personal goals and celebrate success
You’ll also support with daily living tasks such as cooking, personal care, and maintaining a safe and comfortable home environment.
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.
Understanding the Role Honestly
Some of the individuals we support may express behaviours that challenge. These behaviours are often a form of communication, especially when someone is feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to express their needs in other ways.
You Will Be Supported With
- Specialist training in positive behaviour support
- Clear guidance and structured support plans
- Ongoing coaching from experienced leaders
We don’t expect you to have all the answers — we will help you learn, build confidence, and succeed.
What Makes This Role So Rewarding?
While the role can be challenging at times, it is also incredibly fulfilling. You’ll:
- See the people you support achieve things others didn’t think possible
- Build meaningful, trusting relationships
- Help someone gain independence and confidence
- Be part of a supportive, passionate team
- Go home knowing you’ve made a genuine difference

- Kind, patient, and empathetic
- Resilient and able to stay calm under pressure
- Willing to learn and develop new skills
- A team player with a positive attitude
- Commitment to promoting dignity, respect, and inclusion
Experience in care is welcome, but not essential — full training will be provided.

- Career progression opportunities
- Supportive management and team environment
- Paid holidays and pension
- Reward and recognition programmes
