Looking for a role where you can make a real difference this Christmas and beyond? Join us as a Support Worker and help bring comfort, joy, and independence to the people we support—not just for the holidays, but all year round.
We’re looking for confident and reliable support workers to work with a young woman in her 20s who will be moving into her first adult home and is focused on building her independence.
Your role will be to motivate and encourage her to maintain her tenancy, manage her medication safely, keep on top of her weekly budget, and support with daily living tasks such as cooking and cleaning. The lady can struggle around self-image and disorded eating which may lead to self injurious behaviour so experience in this area is desirable but not essential as full comprehensive training will be provided.
She can sometimes find it hard to understand her own emotions due to complex trauma, so you’ll need to be calm, patient, and able to follow her support plans closely whilst ensuring interpersonal boundaries are protected.
A confident and consistent approach is key. This isn’t about doing things for her — it’s about supporting her to make her own decisions and develop her skills whilst sensitively supporting with her self esteem.
We are looking for people who are flexible working a combination of shifts on a rota basis, including weekends. Shifts patterns will vary from 8.00am till 20.00pm then waking nights are required from 20.00pm till 8.00am there are also afternoon shifts 15.00pm - 23.00pm so they do vary from time to time.
Dimensions is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2025 – now 7 years in a row!
Applications will be shortlisted on receipt and interviews will be held until the posts are filled
