About the Opportunity

At Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency, we match dedicated social care professionals with roles where they can genuinely empower others. We are currently recruiting a full-time Support Worker to join a compassionate adult care team in Newport.

This position focuses on providing personalized, person-centered support to residents and tenants managing complex needs, including learning disabilities, autism, or mental health conditions. While previous experience in a similar setting is valuable, what matters most to us are your core values, your empathy, and your desire to help individuals live as independently and joyfully as possible.

What You’ll Be Doing

Working as part of a warm and dedicated team, you will provide both practical and emotional support to help residents build confidence and reach their full potential. Your daily responsibilities will include:

Promoting Independence: Encouraging individuals to live autonomously, helping them build essential life skills and achieve personal goals at their own pace.
Person-Centered Support: Assisting tenants with daily activities, which may include light personal care, community participation, and general help with maintaining their tenancy.
Therapeutic Collaboration: Assisting qualified staff with the implementation of individual care plans, embedding the REACH standards into your daily practice, and occasionally liaising with external healthcare specialists.
Community Integration: Accompanying and encouraging individuals to integrate into the local community through recreational activities and personal interests that match their ambitions.
Care Documentation: Completing daily electronic and paper records with accuracy, involving the individuals in the process whenever appropriate.

What You’ll Bring to the Role

The Right Values: A friendly, patient, and inherently positive approach to work, with a genuine desire to make a difference in adult care.
Resilience & Empathy: Social care is incredibly rewarding but can be challenging. Because no two days are the same, emotional resilience and natural empathy are vital.
Teamwork & Initiative: The ability to work smoothly alongside a team or step up independently using your own initiative.
Core Skills: Strong interpersonal skills, fluency in written and verbal English, and a basic level of administrative competence.
Qualifications: A prior social care qualification is desirable but not essential—full introductory training is provided!
Note: You must have the right to work in the UK to be considered.

What We Will Give You in Return

Priory wants you to succeed and provides a robust benefits package to ensure you feel supported throughout your career:

Workplace Comforts: Free on-site parking and 28 days of annual leave.
Career Advancement: Regular career development mapping, comprehensive ongoing training, and distinct internal pathways into senior, leadership, or qualified clinical positions.
Qualifications: Sponsorship for professional social care qualifications through the Individual Professional Development (IPD) panel.
Financial Benefits: Contributory pension scheme, long service awards, and refer-a-friend bonuses.
Health & Lifestyle Perks: Private healthcare options alongside flexible benefits including discounted gym memberships and tech schemes (laptops/tablets/smartphones).
DBS Fully Covered: Priory covers the entire cost of your enhanced DBS check.
