Ready to bring "Extraordinary Days, Every Day" to life?

At Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency, we are passionate about connecting great people with careers that truly matter. We have partnered with CareTech, a premier national care provider, to find a dedicated, resilient Support Worker to join their specialist adult service in Sheffield.

This vital service supports incredible adults with learning disabilities, autism, and complex mental health needs. If you are looking to build a stable, rewarding career where you can empower independence, boost life skills, and form meaningful connections, we want to hear from you!

The Role: Impact & Responsibilities

As a Support Worker, you will guide individuals through their daily routines while acting as a vital link to the local community. No two days are the same—one day you might be supporting life skills like cooking and baking at home, and the next you could be heading out to theme parks, local pubs, or Christmas markets!

Key Responsibilities:

Person-Centred Care: Deliver individualized support tailored to specific care plans, assisting with daily living routines and personal care where required.
Community Access: Accompany residents to social activities, local parks, healthcare appointments, and even short holiday breaks.
Communication & Mobility: Work closely with individuals who may be non-verbal or require positive behaviour support.
Service Transport: Confidently drive the service’s automatic vehicle to facilitate community trips and appointments.
Teamwork: Maintain accurate digital care records and work fluidly alongside a highly supportive staff team.

Who You Are

While previous experience in a care environment is preferred, it is not essential—having the right heart, patience, and resilience is what matters most. We are looking for an individual who is:

A Confident Driver: Must hold a full, valid UK driving licence and feel entirely comfortable driving an automatic car.
An Adaptable Communicator: Experience or high motivation to support individuals who are non-verbal and display behaviours of concern is highly desirable.
Flexible: Ready to work a shifting rota pattern that includes weekends, evenings, and bank holidays.
Growth-Oriented: Willing to learn and work towards a funded qualification in Health and Social Care.

What’s In It For You?

CareTech is a Disability Confident Leader with over 30 years of industry excellence. By joining the team, you will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package:

Time Off: Up to 28 days of annual leave (inclusive of Bank Holidays).
Financial Perks: "Recommend a Friend" referral bonuses and a Stakeholder Pension.
Health & Lifestyle: Free Blue Light Card, free Employee Assistance Programme, and access to CareTech Foundation grants for friends and family.
Recognition: Attendance opportunities at the Annual Employee Awards Evening and internal recognition schemes.
Career Evolution: Fully funded ongoing training, with structured pathways to progress your career up to degree level.
Fully Funded: Your Enhanced DBS check is 100% covered.
