Support Worker

About Us

Are you kind, patient, and committed? We’re on the lookout for dedicated Support Workers to join our small, friendly team in Whitfield, Dover. You’ll be supporting an amazing man who has autism and epilepsy, and who thrives in a caring environment.

He’s full of fun and enjoys being active, whether it’s going for long countryside walks, visiting parks, or simply relaxing with music. Your role will be to help him live a fulfilling life, providing emotional support and assisting with everyday activities like healthy eating and skill development.

Consistency and structure are key to helping him feel safe and calm. You’ll receive comprehensive training, including shadowing experienced Support Workers, to ensure you’re well-prepared to make a difference.

Shift Patterns

This is a 24-hour service, so flexibility is essential. You’ll be working a variety of shifts, including nights and weekends.

What Will You Be Doing?

This hands-on role means no two days will be the same! You’ll support him in living life to the fullest, both at home and in the community. Your daily tasks may include:

• Preparing meals and keeping his home clean and comfortable
• Planning fun activities and outings
• Promoting his independence and helping him develop life skills
• Assisting with personal care and medication management
• Maintaining accurate records to ensure high standards of care

To thrive in this role, you should be fit and active—he loves going for walks, rain or shine! We’re looking for someone who can help him develop skills and enjoy a structured, fulfilling routine.

Patience and understanding are essential. You’ll need to follow his lead and work strategically to reduce anxiety while improving his quality of life. Being confident in sticking to agreed rules and routines is crucial for the safety of both him and yourself.

We value a positive attitude and the ability to collaborate with his friends, family, and wider support team. You’ll be part of a dedicated team that makes a real difference, so being a team player is vital, while also being able to work independently when needed.
