At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We’re looking for passionate and caring Support Workers to join our specialist home in Widnes, Liverpool.
Our Regency home is a fully detached three-bed home located just 10 minutes from the town centre, surrounded by parks, green spaces and scenic walking routes. The individuals we support are active, outdoors-focused individuals who enjoy swimming, walking, hiking, including trips to Wales, shopping and getting involved in their community. Some also have additional health needs, including epilepsy, so our teams play an important role in providing consistent, bespoke support, promoting independence, and helping individuals stay engaged in the activities they love.
As a Support Worker, you will be a key part of their day-to-day support team, actively valuing and amplifying what matters to them, empowering their communication and independence, planning fulfilling activities. You will also keep records of their needs, support provided and progress.
No two days are the same, you could be supporting someone to settle into their new home, develop independence and life skills, enjoy activities they love, or achieve important milestones. You’ll be part of a supportive team creating a safe, positive, and empowering environment where people can truly thrive.
You will help to create a warm, stimulating environment whilst working a mix of day shifts and sleeps to meet individual needs.
You’ll do more than provide care – you’ll be a mentor, advocate, and source of encouragement, helping the people you support to achieve the best outcomes.
What we’re looking for:
-
Passion for person-centred support.
-
Positive, proactive attitude.
-
Resilience and strong teamwork skills.
-
Willingness to learn and grow.
-
Full UK driving licence is desirable.
-
Care experience is helpful but not essential - full training and support will be provided.
