Your wellbeing matters. From health support to flexible working, we provide the tools and culture to stay balanced, healthy, and at your best, both inside and outside of work.

We're looking for caring, reliable and motivated Support Workers to join our teams across Sheffield, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism to live independently in their own homes.

Whether you're experienced or just starting out, this is a role where you can build meaningful relationships, develop your skills and make a genuine difference every day.

About the role

You'll be supporting people in supported living homes, helping them to live life their way - with choice, independence, and dignity.

Each home is different, but you can expect to:

• Support people with daily living skills and routines
• Help with cooking, cleaning and maintaining their home
• Support with shopping, budgeting and managing money
• Provide personal care where required
• Administer or support with medication
• Encourage and support participation in hobbies, activities, and community life
• Provide reassurance during times of anxiety or behaviours of distress, following Positive Behaviour Support approaches

About you

We're looking for people who are:

• Kind, patient, and respectful
• Reliable and flexible
• Great at building positive relationships
• Willing to learn and develop new skills
• Passionate about supporting people to live independently

Experience in care or supporting people with autism or learning disabilities is helpful, but not essential - we'll provide full training.
