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 Lymm, Warrington.

Our Lymm Children's home, rated OFSTED outstanding, is a large property surrounded by fields and countryside, but close to Lymm town centre and our Willow Tree Park school. This home supports four children aged 7-18 with a diagnosis of autism and learning disabilities. The children we support here follow activity-filled routines linked to their own interests and needs. They enjoy getting out and about, including activities like swimming, eating out, cinema trips, shopping, fun fairs, beach walks, visits to Knowsley Safari Park, and days out at Gulliver's World. Not only that, but there is always plenty going on in-house too, from arts and crafts, sensory play, music, games, as well as spending time in the home's large, enclosed garden.

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, 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:

• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, or be willing to work towards it.

• Passionate about person-centred care.

• Positive and proactive.

• Enthusiastic with a willingness to learn.

• Strong teamwork and communication skills.

• Experience in care is beneficial but not essential as full training will be provided.

• Full UK Driving Licence is advantageous.

• Experience in care is beneficial but not essential as full training will be provided.
