About the role
We’re looking for calm, confident and engaging Support Workers to join our team in Marlborough (SN8), supporting four gentlemen in their 40s–60s with Down’s Syndrome and learning disabilities.
This is a lively, sociable home filled with humour, personality and routine — often described as a real “lads’ house”. You’ll play a key role in supporting each person to live independently, build confidence and enjoy the things that matter most to them.
Using a person-centred approach, you’ll adapt your support to suit each individual, helping them maintain their routines while encouraging independence and positive outcomes.
Who you will be supporting
Each gentleman has their own personality, interests and level of independence. You’ll support individuals who:
- Attend day services regularly
- Enjoy hobbies such as trains and exploring interests
- Are building independence with budgeting and daily tasks
- Love bowling, shopping, social clubs and shared activities
- Thrive in a fun, sociable environment
This is a relaxed but structured home where humour, patience and relationship-building are essential.
What you will be doing
Your role will be varied, hands-on and rewarding, including:
- Providing personal care with dignity and respect
- Supporting daily routines and independence
- Preparing meals and supporting household tasks
- Administering medication safely (training provided)
- Supporting activities, outings and social engagement
- Using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches
- Responding calmly to behaviours of distress
- Building strong relationships with individuals and families

- 9:00am – 3:00pm
- 9:00am – 5:00pm
- Long day + sleep-in: 9:00am – 9:00am (next day)
- Evening + sleep-in: 5:00pm – 9:00am (next day)
- Sleep-in: 10:00pm – 7:00am (£50 paid to sleep)
Rotas are provided in advance to support a healthy work–life balance.

- Calm but confident, with a positive and proactive approach
- Patient, resilient and able to support behaviours of distress
- A strong team player who manages relationships well
- Reliable, organised and flexible
- Willing to learn and develop new skills
