About the role
We’re looking for a creative, resilient and positive Support Worker to join our team in Chippenham (SN15), supporting a young man with additional needs who lives independently in his own home.
This is a truly unique, relationship-based role where you’ll support someone to maintain independence while living a full and active life. You’ll need to know when to step in and when to step back — building trust, confidence and mutual respect.
Who you will be supporting
You’ll be supporting a sociable and independent young man who enjoys a wide range of interests, including:
- Walking and tracking his steps
- Bus rides and car journeys
- Trips to the pub and local town
- Music, playing instruments and attending live music events
- Folk music festivals and Open Mic performances
- Visiting car boot sales and county shows
- Interest in emergency services and related events
- Watching traffic from favourite viewpoints
- Using his computer
- Travelling abroad with family
This is a dynamic role that perfectly suits someone who enjoys variety, routine and meaningful engagement.
What you will be doing
You’ll provide person-centred support that balances independence and safety, including:
- Supporting daily routines, personal care and household tasks
- Encouraging independence and respecting personal space
- Supporting community activities, hobbies and social events
- Building a strong, trusting and positive relationship
- Being flexible and responsive to changing needs
- Occasionally working across nearby services to share knowledge and experience

- 9:00am – 2:30pm
- Long day + sleep-in: 9:00am – 9:00am (next day)
- Evening + sleep-in: 2:30pm – 9:00am (next day)

Rotas are provided in advance to support work–life balance.

You’ll be a great fit if you are:
- Creative, resilient and able to think on your feet
- Respectful of independence and personal boundaries
- Positive, engaging and confident
- Flexible and adaptable
- A strong communicator and relationship builder
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
- A driver (preferred, especially if using your own car with business insurance)
Experience is helpful, but not essential — full training will be provided.
