About Us

At Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency, we excel at linking passionate care professionals with truly meaningful, specialist career paths. We are proud to partner with The Cambian Group, the UK's largest independent provider of specialist care and education for children and young people. Cambian operates on a core belief: that everyone—both the individuals in their care and the professionals supporting them—has a "personal best" waiting to be achieved.

We are currently seeking enthusiastic and motivated Health Support Workers to join an incredible residential team in Doncaster dedicated to supporting young adults (aged 16+) who are profoundly deaf, hard of hearing, and/or have complex needs.

Role Overview

Young adults who are deaf or hard of hearing frequently face immense communication barriers in everyday life. In this role, you will be the key to helping them navigate these challenges. You will provide a safe, nurturing, and highly communicative environment, helping residents develop independence while managing their daily care and social schedules.

No prior sign language experience? No problem. While an understanding of BSL (British Sign Language) is advantageous, a strong willingness to learn is what truly matters. Cambian provides comprehensive, fully paid training and ongoing supervision to help you master these vital communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

Holistic Daily Support: Help residents with meal planning, care planning, domestic upkeep of the home, and general well-being.
Social Engagement: Organize, facilitate, and participate in fun, inclusive social activities.
Community Transport: Travel with residents to appointments, outings, and activities using the company vehicle.
Multidisciplinary Liaison: Confidently communicate and collaborate with parents, social workers, and healthcare professionals.
Digital Record Keeping: Use digital care platforms daily to accurately document, monitor, and update care records (experience with Clearcare is a bonus, but full training is provided).

Person Specification

Attributes: Naturally empathetic, highly motivated, and resilient with a genuine desire to make a difference in young lives.
Skills: Strong communication skills and the enthusiasm to learn and utilize British Sign Language (BSL).
Flexibility: Comfortable working on a rolling monthly rota. As a 365-day-a-year service, this includes working some weekends and major holidays (made special by celebrating alongside the residents!).
Compliance: Comfortable undergoing thorough background checks, including an Enhanced DBS.

What We Offer

Competitive hourly rate (£13.19 - £13.81) with overtime paid at $\times 1.25$ and separate sleep-in rates
Fully paid, comprehensive 10-day induction course
