Do you want to make a real difference to people's lives the moment they leave hospital? Are you looking for a rewarding role that could kick start your career in the health and social sector?

We're looking for someone kind, reliable, and full of positive energy to join our Health and Care team as a Support Worker. If you're the type of person who enjoys helping others feel safe and supported, you could make a real difference in someone's life. No formal care experience? That's okay.

It's more than just a job - it's a chance to give back, grow your skills, and be part of a team that truly cares.

What will a day in the life of a Support Worker involve? Providing practical and emotional support, including welfare calls, shopping, and home visits.

Supporting adults after a hospital stay to help them recover safely at home.

Responding to referrals from clinicians and community health professionals.

Assessing needs and following a personalised support plan for each service user.
To be a successful Support Worker, what will you need? A kind, calm and confident approach with great people skills.
