As a Lifeways Support Worker, you'll do far more than provide care.
n
You'll help people build confidence, maintain their independence, stay connected to the people who matter to them and live the life they choose.
n
We're looking for caring, reliable people who want to make a genuine difference. You don't need previous care experience. What matters most is your attitude, values and willingness to support others.
n
A full driving licence is essential for this role, but not because you'll spend your day driving from appointment to appointment. Driving gives the people we support opportunities.
n
It means helping someone visit family, get to college, attend a job interview, enjoy a day out, pursue a hobby, go shopping independently or simply spend time in their local community.
n
Sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impact. Whether that's somebody ordering a coffee independently for the first time, catching up with friends, or building the confidence to try something new, you'll play a part in making those moments happen.
n
n
What will you be doing?
n
No two days are the same, but your role may include:
n
· Supporting people in their own homes and within their local community
n
· Encouraging independence and helping people achieve personal goals
n
· Supporting people to attend appointments, activities and days out
n
· Building positive and meaningful relationships
n
· Helping people develop life skills and confidence
n
· Supporting people to maintain relationships with family and friends
n
· Providing emotional support and encouragement
n
n
Alongside this, you may also provide support with:
n
· Personal care
n
· Medication
n
· Meal preparation
n
· Household tasks
n
· Budgeting and daily routines
n
Great support is about much more than personal care, but personal care may form part of the role depending on the needs of the people you support.
n
Every person is different. Every day is different. That's what makes the role so rewarding.
n
What You'll Need
n
· A full UK driving licence
n
· A caring, positive and respectful attitude
n
· Good communication and interpersonal skills
n
· A willingness to learn and develop
n
· No previous care experience required, as full training will be provided
n
What You'll Get
n
· £13.10 per hour
n
· Business mileage is paid, meaning you'll be reimbursed for travel undertaken as part of your role.
n
· Full training and ongoing support
n
· Free DBS check
n
· Blue Light Card discounts
n
· Refer a Friend bonus – £200 per referral
n
· Access to Stream our financial planning app allowing team members to access a portion of their earned income anytime before payday, providing flexibility and control over their money
n
· Our Employee Assistance Programme
n
· Career development opportunities across Lifeways
n
· Leadership development programmes
n

n

n
You're Not Just Anyone
n
Someone who understands that support isn't just about completing tasks. It's about helping people build confidence, gain independence, create memories and live fulfilling lives.
n
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
n
