We’re looking for experienced and passionate Support Workers to join our fun caring team at St David’s House, supporting young adults aged 21-36 with vision impairment and complex needs.
This isn’t your typical care home. We believe that rigid routines don’t suit everyone - so we focus on flexible, person-centred care that helps our residents build independence, learn life skills, and enjoy new experiences in the community.

- Help our young people meet their personal care and medical needs with dignity
- Enable our young people to access enriching social, leisure and vocational activities
- Work closely with a dedicated team led by a Team Leader
- Be part of an inclusive environment that values quality time and individual potential
You’ll receive full training, a detailed induction, and ongoing development opportunities - including support to achieve a Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care, if you don’t already have it.
About you
We're looking for people who are:
- Kind, friendly and compassionate
- Experienced in care, education, or supporting others in any setting (minimum of one year's experience in care)
- Excellent communicators, especially when working with people with vision impairment and complex needs
- Positive, reliable and great at working as part of a team

You’ll work 37 hours per week on a three-week rolling rota, including:
- Early shifts: 07:00 – 17:00
- Late shifts: 15:00 – 23:00
