Support Worker

Job description

At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We're looking for passionate and caring Support Workers to join our specialist home in Great Sankey, Warrington.

Our Lakenheath home is located on a quiet, new-build estate in Great Sankey, supporting 4 adults with autism and learning disabilities to be independent and achieve their own individual outcomes.

They love being active and involved in their community. From bouncing at Gravity Trampoline Park to working part-time at Gulliver's World Theme Park, life here for the people we support is vibrant and varied. As part of their support team, you will be responsible for assisting them to take part in these activities and supporting them to live successful lives. Each day will be completely different, but you will be there to guide them through all of life's milestones and challenges.

As a Support Worker, you will be a key part of their day-to-day support team, actively valuing and amplifying what matters to them, empowering their communication and independence, planning fulfilling activities. You will also keep records of their needs, support provided and progress.

No two days are the same, you could be supporting someone to settle into their new home, develop independence and life skills, enjoy activities they love, or achieve important milestones. You'll be part of a supportive team creating a safe, positive, and empowering environment where people can truly thrive.

You will help to create a warm, stimulating environment whilst working a mix of day shifts and sleeps to meet individual needs.

You'll do more than provide care – you'll be a mentor, advocate, and source of encouragement, helping the people you support to achieve the best outcomes.

What we're looking for:

• Passion for person-centred support.
• Positive, proactive attitude.
• Resilience and strong teamwork skills.
• Willingness to learn and grow.
• Full UK driving licence is desirable.
• Care experience is helpful but not essential - full training and support will be provided.
