Join Our New Team in Durham Make a Meaningful Difference Every Day
Do you believe care should be shaped around the individual, their choices, and the life they want to live?
At Active Care in the Home, part of the UK's largest provider of complex care, we are expanding our team in Durham and are looking for compassionate and reliable Support Workers who want to make a genuine difference every day.
This is much more than a care role it's an opportunity to support someone to live a full, independent, and meaningful life, in a way that matters most to them.
About the Role
We are recruiting for a part-time, 1:1 daytime Support Worker position, working 23 days each week from Monday to Friday. You will be supporting a gentleman who lives with his mother and their much-loved Cockapoo, helping him to maintain his independence and continue doing the things that are important to him.
The client has Lowe syndrome, visual impairment, mild learning disabilities, epilepsy, and arthritis. He is an intelligent and motivated individual who is passionate about maintaining his independence and continuing his work.
A key part of this role involves providing practical support to help him remain active in his job and daily life. We are therefore looking for someone with strong IT skills, particularly experience with Microsoft 365, and someone who has empathy, patience, and an understanding of supporting people with learning disabilities.
No two days are the same. Alongside work-related support, the client enjoys getting out into the community and may like to take a break with a visit to the local garden centre. There may also be occasional overnight stays to support office visits and work-related trips, although the role is predominantly Monday to Friday, 9am5pm.
In this role, you'll support one individual with complex needs, working regular weekly shifts to build a consistent, trusted care team. While hours are usually stable, the position is offered on a zero-hours contract.
