SUPPORT WORKER

1:1 Support — Complex Behaviour & Mobility Needs

About the role

Links Support Solutions is looking for a compassionate, confident and physically capable Support Worker to provide dedicated 1:1 support to a gentleman in his 30s with Down syndrome who lives at home with his family and attends our day service full-time.

He is a genuinely warm, affectionate and engaging individual who loves being around people. He thrives on positive relationships, enjoys spending time with his friends and forms strong bonds with trusted support staff. Music is a huge part of his day, with Bruno Mars being a particular favourite.

He has a fantastic sense of humour and a mischievous personality, often enjoying playful interactions with those around him. He can keep you on your toes and brings plenty of laughter to those who know him well.

He has limited verbal communication but understands far more than he is able to express. He is able to use some Makaton signing, although he can sometimes be reluctant to do so, so the successful candidate will need patience, excellent communication skills and the ability to encourage interaction in a calm, positive and consistent way.

Like many people with communication difficulties, he can sometimes become frustrated when he is unable to express his needs, wishes or feelings. On occasions, this frustration may present as behaviours of concern, including physical aggression. These behaviours are not reflective of his true personality but are his way of communicating that something is wrong or that he needs support. With patience, consistency, positive behaviour support and the right relationship, he responds extremely well and is able to build strong, trusting connections.

Due to his weight, he requires some support when walking longer distances and benefits from encouragement to remain active and engaged in healthy routines. The role includes supporting him to access the community, participate in meaningful activities, enjoy social opportunities and maintain an active lifestyle in a safe and enjoyable way.

We are looking for someone who is calm under pressure, resilient, reliable and physically capable. The successful candidate will be confident in setting clear and consistent boundaries while providing compassionate, person-centred support that promotes independence, dignity and wellbeing.

This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in someone’s life. We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term, trusting relationship and become a positive, consistent presence, helping him to live a happy, fulfilling and meaningful life.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is physically strong, calm under pressure, and secure enough in themselves to hold firm, fair boundaries without escalating conflict.

Please note: this role does not meet the Home Office salary/skill threshold for Skilled Worker sponsorship, so we are unable to sponsor a Certificate of Sponsorship for this position. Candidates must already have a long-term right to work in the UK.

Key responsibilities

Maintaining accurate daily records, including health records
Carrying out weekly weigh-ins and tracking progress
Supporting and maintaining his personal fitness programme
Liaising with the Learning Disability Health Team as part of his wider care

Essential requirements

Physically strong and confident, providing hands-on support, including with mobility
Assertive, confident, and self-assured when working with vulnerable adults
Proven, hands-on experience managing and positively changing challenging behaviour
Skilled and sensitive in managing food-related behaviours firmly but kindly
Patient and consistent — able to hold boundaries with a stubborn service user without conflict escalating
Warm and friendly, with a patient, easy-going manner, he can genuinely bond with and trust

Desirable

Experience supporting adults with Down syndrome or learning disabilities specifically
Experience with weight management or mobility support strategies
