At Mencap, we value a diverse and inclusive workplace and we intentionally plan for the success of our colleagues in everything we do. We welcome applications from everyone, so come as you are and join us. Together we are Mencap!

We are currently looking to expand our team of dedicated support workers in Arnold where you will be supporting people who have a learning disability. We have positions with various hours available.

You don't need any experience but we do have 3 questions that we need a YES from for this role to be perfect for you:

Are you eager, enthusiastic and passionate?

Do you want to do a job where you can go home knowing that you have made a difference to someone's day?

From your next job opportunity do you want award winning training, career progression and exceptional company benefits?

In our Arnold service everyone has their own requirements but the type of support you will provide would be things such as shopping, cooking, eating and drinking, laundry, personal care, cleaning, finances, medication administration. You would also support them to organise activities and access the community to socialise and for leisure.

Being a support worker isn't just about making day to day life great, it's about being a part of the fun! You would be supporting with accessing their community for leisure and recreation, and to maintain relationships with people who are important to them. Some hobbies and interests include - arts and crafts, line dancing, planning holidays and listening to music.

The people we support have created one page profiles for you to read (see additional information) so you can get an idea about how to support them.

Support workers must be flexible in the hours they can work, as support can be required 24 hours a day. You will work on a rota basis throughout the week, weekends and bank holidays with sleep-ins as well.

One of the most amazing things about being a Support Worker is that anyone can do it! As long as you have a positive attitude and want to improve the lives of those with a learning disability, we will support you with progression opportunities throughout your career with us.
