About the role

• Female Support Worker
• Full time - 37.5 hours per week
• £13.45 per hour
• Reedham, Norfolk, NR13
• Full UK manual driving licence with own car essential.

At Dimensions, we're passionate about supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people to live the lives they choose. We believe every person should have choice, control and opportunities to achieve their goals, and we're looking for a compassionate and motivated Support Worker to join our established team supporting three ladies in their own supported living bungalow in Reedham, a beautiful village within the Norfolk Broads, approximately 15 minutes from Great Yarmouth and 25-30 minutes from Norwich by car.

This is a highly rewarding role where you'll build relationships and make a genuine difference every day. The ladies communicate primarily through body language, facial expressions and vocal sounds, so you'll learn to understand their individual communication styles and recognise what is important to them. Patience, empathy and a willingness to learn are essential, as you'll become an important part of their lives and support network.

As a Support Worker, you'll work alongside the ladies to help them live independently, develop skills and enjoy the activities that matter most to them. This includes providing personal care, supporting with medication, preparing meals, maintaining a comfortable home environment and supporting with health appointments. You'll always promote choice and independence, recognising and celebrating what each person can do for themselves while providing the right level of support when needed.

The ladies lead active and fulfilling lives and enjoy a variety of interests within their local community. Whether it's swimming, shopping, bowling, enjoying meals out, going for walks or taking trips out for an ice cream, you'll play a key role in supporting them to access new experiences, stay connected with their community and enjoy the things they love. Confidence in the water is essential, as swimming is a regular activity.

You'll be part of a small, consistent team, usually working alongside one other colleague on shift. Together, you'll provide person-centred support that helps the ladies achieve positive outcomes and enjoy the best possible quality of life.

Flexibility is important within this role as shifts are worked across a rolling rota and include a combination of day and waking night shifts, with approximately one to two waking nights per week. Day shifts may include long days, 7-hour shifts and shorter early or late shifts.
