Home, a place where you belong
Want to be part of a team that truly cares, not only about our customers, but about you too? Our colleagues tell us that working here feels different. We’re brilliant at what we do, and we look after each other just as much as we support our customers. If you’ve ever felt like just a number in your current job, this could be the change you’ve been waiting for.
You’ll help people with complex needs live more independently, where no two days are the same. One moment you’re helping someone take a big step towards their goals, the next you’re supporting them through life’s everyday ups and downs.
What you’ll do
- Lead support planning and coordinate our Support Workers to deliver person-centred support
- Balance support, safeguarding, admin and meetings while guiding colleagues and managing caseloads
- Support Customers with daily tasks like budgeting, cooking and attending appointments
- Work with multi-agency teams to safeguard and empower our customers
- Help customers build independence and prepare for their move-on into the community
Why join us
This is more than a job – it’s a place where you feel valued. With our learning and development offer, and support from friendly colleagues, you’ll make a real difference every day! If you’re ready to leave behind the ordinary, do something that really matters. Be part of one of the UK’s Great Places to Work! We can’t offer a CoS for this role
You have

Stronger together
We do our best work when we’re ourselves. That’s why inclusion, wellbeing, and our diversity networks help make Home Group a great place to work!
The practical bits

- Due to the current service demand, this post is open to female applicants only
- You need an Enhanced with barring list (we pay)
- A vehicle insured for business use (and a license!), we’ll pay for any business mileage
What’s in it for you?
