Help people reach their full potential at Dimensions. You’ll support autistic people and adults with learning disabilities to develop life skills, build confidence, and enjoy meaningful relationships. Backed by a culture that
values wellbeing, career development, and recognition, you’ll benefit from peer-to-peer learning and personalised coaching – making this more than a job, it’s a career with purpose.
We are looking for dedicated Support Workers to join our team, providing one-to-one support for a woman with a learning disability and autism.
This is a complex and rewarding role where consistency, patience and understanding are essential. The lady you will be supporting can experience behaviours of distress, so your role will be to offer calm, reassuring and consistent support—helping her feel safe, understood and in control of her day.
About the person you’ll be supporting
She is a vibrant, sociable and fun-loving woman who thrives when she is active and involved in the world around her. She enjoys familiar routines and meaningful connections, particularly when out in the community. Some of her favourite activities include:
Going shopping and browsing her favourite places
Enjoying coffee and lunch outings
Visiting the theatre
Spending time in locations she knows, enjoys and feels comfortable in
You’ll play an important role in supporting her to continue enjoying these activities, building her confidence, and helping her live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
This role would suit someone who is calm under pressure, reliable, and able to build trusting relationships while maintaining clear boundaries and structure.
The support you’ll be providing is likely to include personal care, meal preparation, medication administration, and domestic tasks including cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Full training and support will be provided.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals with great values and confidence, who are willing to join a team that supports people to achieve really great outcomes and have a really good quality of life!
