Support Worker

Location: Nottingham

Salary: £24,871 - £25,371 per annum

Our client believes everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling, independent life.

About the role

As a Support Worker, you'll work closely with our customers to provide person-centred, trauma-informed support that promotes independence, choice and wellbeing. You'll help people develop life skills, maintain their tenancies, access education, employment and leisure activities, and build meaningful connections within their communities.

• Has a genuine passion for supporting people and making a positive difference.
• Understands the needs and challenges faced by vulnerable adults.
• Can communicate clearly, professionally and compassionately.
• Is comfortable using basic IT systems, including emails and record-keeping.
• Can remain calm and resilient in challenging situations.
• Understands the importance of professional boundaries and confidentiality.

Previous experience in care and support is welcomed, but your willingness to learn, your values and your commitment is just as important to helping others achieve independence and life opportunities.
