Dimensions is proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work year after year.

We’re looking for a calm, confident and caring Female Support Worker to join our small, friendly team in SY2, supporting two women in their 50s–60s with learning disabilities and additional health needs.

This is a rewarding role where consistency, patience and relationship-building are key. One lady may take a little longer to warm to new staff, so we’re looking for someone who brings reassurance, warmth and reliability to every shift.

You’ll support two ladies with a range of needs, including:

• Learning disabilities
• Epilepsy
• Dementia
• Diabetes (non-insulin dependent)
• One lady has Down syndrome

• 1:1 support: 10:00am – 8:00pm
• 2:1 support: Outside of the above
• Personal care: Yes
• Wheelchair use: One lady uses a wheelchair when out in the community
• Eating support:
  • Both eat independently
  • Support required during SALT assessments

• Meal preparation: Yes
• Medication administration: Yes (training provided)

You’ll help the ladies live safe, comfortable and fulfilling lives by:

• Supporting daily routines and personal care
• Preparing meals and supporting healthy eating
• Administering medication and monitoring health
• Offering reassurance and emotional support
• Encouraging independence and confidence
• Supporting walks, cinema trips and social activities
• Working closely with colleagues to provide consistent, person-centred care

The ladies enjoy:

• Community walks
• Cinema visits
• Disco sessions
• Coffee and cake trips
• Gentle social activities and quiet time at home

One lady has a cheeky sense of humour, while the other prefers a calmer pace — adapting your approach to each person is key.

Flexible hours available up to 45 per week, including:

• Long days: 10:00am – 8:00pm
• Early shifts: 7:00am – 3:00pm
• Late shifts: 3:00pm – 10:00pm
• Sleep-ins: 10:00pm – 7:00am (£50 paid to sleep)

Rotas are planned in advance to support work–life balance.

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• Patient, calm and confident
• Reliable and emotionally aware
• Comfortable supporting health needs
• Compassionate and reassuring
• A good team player who builds trust
• Outgoing but gentle in approach
• Experienced in care or health-related roles (highly desirable)
• A confident UK manual driver

• Competitive hourly pay
• 30 days’ paid annual leave (including public holidays – pro rata)
• Buy and sell holiday options
• Career development via Aspire & Dimensions Academy
• Salary advance scheme – access up to 50% earned pay before payday
• High Street and lifestyle discounts
• £200 refer-a-friend bonus
• Life Assurance and Company Pension
