Support Worker - 16 Hours Per Week and Bank/Ad Hoc (Zero Hours)

As a Support Worker at Unity Reach, you will be part of a dedicated team responsible for delivering high-quality support to individuals with learning disabilities, ensuring their needs are met while promoting independence, confidence, and daily living skills.

Unity Reach operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, meaning working evenings, weekends, and overnight sleep-in duties is essential. You must be flexible and able to work within the rota system, ensuring service users receive consistent support whenever needed.

Your role will involve:

Supporting service users in their daily routines, assisting with decision-making, and promoting confidence and independence.
Taking initiative and problem-solving when challenges arise, ensuring the smooth daily operation of the home.
Providing structured and person-centred support while understanding when to escalate concerns or seek input from managers, directors, or family members.
Contributing to household management, ensuring the home remains safe, well-maintained, and organised.

This role does not currently involve personal care, but you must be adaptable to potential changes in service user needs. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

As this role involves travel between locations, a full UK driving licence and access to a personal vehicle is essential at all times. Mileage expenses will be reimbursed.

If you are organised, proactive, and committed to supporting independent living for adults with learning disabilities, we encourage you to apply and become part of our dedicated team at Unity Reach.

If you can answer yes to all the following questions, then we'd like to hear from you!

Are you willing and able to travel with service users, in your own car, and will have business car insurance to cover this?

Are you willing to undertake all training required?

Do you have strong communication and interpersonal skills, essential for working with service users, colleagues, and external professionals?

Are you able to work over the 24/7 period, including overnight shifts?

Assisting with transportation (not driving duties) with other members of staff or on public transport
