Make every long day count with Dimensions

If you enjoy clear structure, longer shifts, and more full days off, this condensed work pattern could be a perfect fit. At Dimensions, you’ll work purposeful, well-supported shifts within a team that values compassion, stability, and person-centred care.

Who you’ll support

You’ll join a stable, experienced team supporting six adults (five gentlemen and one lady) in their 20s–30s with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) and complex needs. Families are closely involved, and strong partnership working is central to the support.

Their interests include:

  • Sensory activities, hydrotherapy and water play
  • Community trips to Apex motocross, train stations, and church
  • Music, nursery rhymes, and story time
  • Creative projects such as painting and woodwork
  • Playful, silly interactions and gentle role play

Most individuals use wheelchairs and hoists, so confidence with manual handling is helpful.

What you’ll do

You’ll provide 1:1 and 2:1 support focused on dignity, safety, and meaningful engagement:

  • Personal care and manual handling
  • Supporting PEG feeding and dysphagia management
  • Administering medication (including buccal medication for epilepsy)
  • Encouraging independence and meaningful daily routines
  • Supporting sensory activities and community involvement
  • Working collaboratively with families and your team

What you’ll bring

  • Kind, clear communication; able to recognise non-verbal cues
  • Calm under pressure and proactive in your approach
  • Comfortable engaging creatively — singing, being playful, sensory interaction
  • Strong team values and collaborative working
  • Confidence in mobility support and manual handling
  • Experience with complex needs is helpful but full training is provided
