Looking for more than just a job?
At United Support Services, we believe every person deserves to live a life filled with opportunity, independence, purpose and meaningful relationships.
We're looking for a positive, enthusiastic and compassionate Support Worker to join our incredible team supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs to live happy and fulfilling lives.
This isn't just about providing care. It's about helping people achieve goals they never thought possible, building confidence, creating opportunities and making every day meaningful.
If you're someone who naturally brings positivity into a room, enjoys helping others succeed and wants to finish work knowing you've genuinely made a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
No two days are the same.
You'll support a variety of people, all with different personalities, interests and aspirations. Some people require specialist one-to-one or two - to - one support, while others simply need encouragement, companionship and someone to help them live as independently as possible.
Your role may include:
- Supporting people in their own homes.

- Encouraging independence and developing daily living skills.
- Supporting people to achieve personal goals and build confidence.
- Providing emotional reassurance and positive encouragement.
- Supporting with medication where required (full training provided).
- Promoting dignity, choice and independence at every opportunity.
- Completing accurate and professional documentation.
- Working as part of a supportive and passionate team.

We're looking for someone who:
- Has a genuinely positive outlook and enjoys encouraging others.
- Is passionate about making a difference in people's lives.
- Treats everyone with dignity, kindness and respect.
- Has excellent communication skills.
- Is patient, compassionate and emotionally resilient.
- Can work well both independently and as part of a team.
- Is reliable, flexible and willing to learn.
- Has a full UK driving licence
What we offer
- Fixed, predictable rota with an excellent work-life balance.
- Full-time 36-hour contract.
- Comprehensive induction and ongoing training.
- Opportunities to develop and progress within the organisation.
- A supportive management team that genuinely values its staff.
- A friendly, welcoming team with an excellent workplace culture.
- The opportunity to make a real difference every single day.
