Are you looking for a meaningful role where you can make a genuine difference in someone’s life? We’re seeking a dedicated Support Worker to accompany an individual who lives in their own home in Norwich. They experience the world in a unique way, shaped by learning disabilities, autism, bipolar disorder, communication difficulties, and behaviours that can be perceived as challenging. These needs influence their daily life, but they are far more than their diagnosis.
They have a brilliant sense of humour and enjoy a wide range of activities including sports, bike riding, puzzles, colouring, darts, wrestling, painting, games, and storytelling. Your support will help them access these interests safely, confidently, and consistently.
To enable them to explore their community and take part in the activities they love, you’ll need to be based locally in Norwich and able to drive them to their favourite destinations. A full UK Driving Licence is essential.
Your role will be central to enriching their life: facilitating trips out, sharing activities, and providing empathetic, person‑centred support. Your understanding of LDA, complex needs, and challenging behaviours will empower them to live life to the fullest.
