- Coltishall, Norwich, NR12
- Full UK Driving licence and access to own car essential.
Imagine a role where your support helps somebody gain confidence, try something new, maintain important relationships and enjoy the life they choose. As a Support Worker with Dimensions, no two days are ever the same. You'll be supporting two gentlemen in their own supported living home, helping them achieve their personal goals, develop independence and continue doing the things that matter most to them.
One gentleman enjoys a quieter pace of life and values spending time at home and with family. He can experience periods of anxiety, so you'll take a patient, calm and person-centred approach, building trust and supporting him at a pace that works for him.
The other gentleman is outgoing, social and loves being out and about. You could be supporting him on a shopping trip one day, attending his social club the next, helping him plan a holiday, listening to music together or supporting his passion for DJing. He's also very proud of his three chickens, so if you're an animal lover, you'll be right at home!
This role is about much more than providing support. It's about recognising what people can do for themselves, encouraging new experiences, building confidence and helping people develop the skills they need to live the lives they choose. You'll support with daily living tasks including meal preparation, medication, household routines and accessing the local community, whilst ensuring the people we support remain at the centre of every decision.
Shift patterns: 7.00am - 2.30pm and 2.30pm - 10.00pm, including sleep-ins. Alternate weekends and bank holidays are required.
About you
- You're someone who genuinely enjoys helping others live the life they choose, recognising people's strengths and supporting them to build their confidence, independence and skills.
- You understand that everyone is different and can adapt your approach to meet individual needs. Whether that's giving someone space when they're feeling anxious or encouraging them to try something new, you'll be patient, respectful and person-centred.
- You enjoy building meaningful relationships and can communicate effectively with the people you support, their families, colleagues and professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes.
- You're happy to support with all aspects of daily living, including meal preparation, medication, household tasks, budgeting, shopping and supporting people to access activities they enjoy within their community.
