Support Worker

Support Worker – Autism & Learning Disabilities ¦ Worsley, Manchester

At Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We're looking for passionate and caring Support Workers to join our specialist home in Worsley, Manchester.

Our Lightwood home supports three adults in Worsley, Greater Manchester, each with their own individual personality, routines, interests and ways of communicating. The people we support enjoy leading active, varied and meaningful lives, with plenty of opportunities to get out into the community and enjoy the things they love.

Activities may include visits to cafés, parks, farms, museums, the beach, swimming, the gym, sensory sessions, church, shopping and nature walks, as well as enjoying music, technology and relaxing at home. They also enjoy developing their independence through everyday tasks, spending time with family and friends, and trying new experiences with the encouragement of a supportive team.

As a Support Worker, you will be a key part of their day-to-day support team, actively valuing and amplifying what matters to them, empowering their communication and independence, planning fulfilling activities. You will also keep records of their needs, support provided and progress.

No two days are the same, you could be supporting someone to settle into their new home, develop independence and life skills, enjoy activities they love, or achieve important milestones. You'll be part of a supportive team creating a safe, positive, and empowering environment where people can truly thrive.

You will help to create a warm, stimulating environment whilst working a mix of day shifts and sleeps to meet individual needs.

You'll do more than provide care – you'll be a mentor, advocate, and source of encouragement, helping the people you support to achieve the best outcomes.

What we're looking for:

Passion for person-centred support.

Positive, proactive attitude.

Resilience and strong teamwork skills.

Willingness to learn and grow.

Full UK driving licence is desirable.

Care experience is helpful but not essential - full training and support will be provided.
