About Dimensions

Your efforts are recognised and rewarded with benefits and recognition programs that matter - supporting your wellbeing, financial security, and work-life balance.

Thanks to our amazing teams, Dimensions Group has been accredited as a Great Place to Work for 2026 — our eighth consecutive year of recognition.

About the role

You’ll be supporting two wonderful individuals in their 60s–70s who truly have a zest for life and love making the most of every day.

They enjoy:

• Trips to the cinema and theatre
• Shopping trips and dining out
• A great mix of music — from ABBA to Cliff Richard
• Watching Eurovision and chatting all things pop and music

They bring energy, personality and a real sense of fun — and they’re looking for someone who can share in those moments.

Both individuals have learning disabilities and dysphagia, so you’ll play an important role in providing safe, consistent and person-centred support.

At times, you may need to offer emotional reassurance during moments of distress, but you won’t be on your own — we provide full Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training to give you the skills and confidence you need.

What Will You Be Doing?

Empowering Independence: Help them live their lives the way they choose, achieve their goals, and be themselves.
Daily Support: Assist with food shopping, bill payments, and domestic tasks like cooking, cleaning, and laundry.
Providing Care: Administer medication and provide verbal prompts around personal care.

Shift:
