Support Worker - Male

Dimensions is looking for a male Support Worker in South Tyneside (NE34) to support a man with a learning disability and autism to live a happy, fulfilling life in his own home. He has 1:1 support at home and 2:1 support in the community. He loves Star Wars, music and writing number patterns, and staying in touch with his mum is very important to him.

What you would do:

• Give person-centred support at home and out in the community
• Encourage him to enjoy his favourite activities and interests
• Follow positive support strategies and his established routines
• Keep his home safe and well managed, as he can be drawn to the sound of breaking glass
• Work closely with colleagues and his family

What they ask for: a patient, reliable person who understands the value of routine and building trust. A full UK or EU manual driving licence is required, and the employer states that being male is a genuine occupational requirement for this role. Training and support plans are provided.

The role is permanent and part time at 32 hours per week, paying £14.59 per hour. Dimensions lists overtime uplift, flexible shift patterns, 30 days' annual leave including public holidays (pro rata), a paid Learn to Drive scheme, salary advance, high street discounts, life assurance, a company pension, training and a free enhanced DBS. Applicants need the right to work in the UK.
