About the role

  • Female Support Worker

  • £14.66 per hour + Up to £1,000 welcome bonus
  • Willingham, Cambridge, CB24.

We're currently recruiting up to 9 Support Workers to join our team in Willingham. You will be supporting six adults, aged between their 30s and 50s, who have learning disabilities, Rett Syndrome, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and complex health needs. We're looking for compassionate and proactive colleagues who are keen to learn specialist skills and provide exceptional person-centred support.

No two days are the same. You'll support people with all aspects of daily living, including personal care, medication administration, meal preparation, health appointments, communication support and accessing their local community. You'll work in partnership with families, healthcare professionals and colleagues to ensure the people we support can enjoy the experiences that matter most to them. These include swimming, theatre trips, cinema visits, karaoke sessions, community groups, holidays, shopping trips, coffee mornings, social clubs and days out. 

Whilst previous experience is welcome, it is not essential. We're looking for people who share Dimensions' values and who are willing to learn new skills and develop professionally. Full training will be provided, including specialist clinical training in epilepsy management, suctioning, stoma care, PEG feeding and medication administration. We're particularly interested in people who are caring, motivated, adaptable and committed to helping others achieve great outcomes. 

The home operates across a variety of shifts, including early, late, long day and sleep-in shifts, with sleep-ins typically required once or twice per week. You will also be expected to work alternate weekends. Although a driving licence is not essential, you must be willing to use public transport and support people to access activities in the local community and surrounding areas.

About you

You don't need previous care experience to be successful in this role. We're looking for people who share our values and have a genuine passion for supporting others to live great lives. You'll be patient, caring and respectful, with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn new skills.

This role would suit someone who enjoys working as part of a team, can build positive relationships with the people we support, their families and healthcare professionals, and is confident adapting to changing priorities. You'll be proactive, observant and willing to take responsibility for supporting people with complex health needs, following specialist training and guidance.

We're looking for someone who is comfortable providing personal care, supporting people with feeding and medication, and learning specialist clinical skills such as PEG support, epilepsy management, suctioning and moving and handling procedures. Full training will be provided, so experience is not essential, but a willingness to learn and develop is crucial.
