Are you someone who thrives on empowering others to live their best lives? Do you bring warmth, empathy, and positivity to everything you do? If so, we would love to welcome you to our team.
At Litslade Farm, our registered care home in the heart of Newton Longville, we support a small group of adults with learning disabilities and complex needs to live independently and confidently. We are looking for compassionate Support Workers to join our friendly, inclusive, and supportive team.
This is a truly varied and rewarding role supporting eight individuals aged between 25 and 68. While the role can be challenging at times, it is equally fulfilling - with plenty of opportunities to plan activities, enjoy days out, and create meaningful experiences. No two days are ever the same.
What You Will Be Doing
As part of the role, you will:
-
Assess needs and develop personalised support plans
-
Promote independence through life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting
-
Provide personal care with sensitivity and respect

Organise and assist with outings, appointments, and activities
-
Administer medication and maintain a healthy, safe environment

-
Flexible and reliable, able to work shifts (7am-3pm and 2pm-10pm), including weekends and bank holidays

A background in nursing or clinical care would be highly valued, offering a great opportunity to apply and further develop your clinical skills within a supportive, person-centred environment - however, this is not essential
-

We will support your development with a structured induction, comprehensive training, and the opportunity to gain an accredited vocational qualification.
