We believe in championing the right of disabled people to live, work, socialise and participate in the community, free of discrimination and unnecessary boundaries. 

Who we are looking for

We have an opportunity for a Senior Support Worker to join us supporting one gentleman out in the community, as well in his own home.

The gentleman enjoys going for long drives in his mobility car and going for drinks and meals around Liverpool, he is a very active man and requires a staff team who will positively engage in his interests and support him in maintaining; his tenancy agreement, his health, relationships with his family members. Because we are all different, your role as a Senior Support Worker will be varied - what you do and how you do it will depend on the needs of the individuals you are supporting.  You will have the opportunity to get involved in the leadership of the service, helping to organise rotas, maintain records and supervise colleagues.
