At Godfrey Care, we believe great care starts with understanding the individual behind the needs. As a Support Worker, you’ll be part of an established team supporting adults with complex needs, helping them build confidence, develop independence, and live meaningful lives.

This is a rewarding but demanding role. You’ll need to be confident working within a structured environment, managing challenging situations calmly, and maintaining professional boundaries while building positive, trusting relationships with the people we support.

Why Join Godfrey Care?
Working in a forensic supported living service requires patience, resilience, consistency, and a genuine commitment to supporting positive change.
If you have the experience and mindset to work with people who may have complex histories and behaviours, this could be an opportunity to use your skills in a role where they genuinely matter.
If you’re looking for a role where every day is different, your experience is valued, and the work you do genuinely changes lives, we’d love to hear from you.
