Description

Do you feel strongly about making a genuine difference in people’s lives? Helping others to grow and achieve their goals? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

When you join Partners in Support, you’ll become part of an organisation which is CQC rated ‘Outstanding’. Our team has won numerous national and local awards for leading the way in person-centred support.

We are open to full-time and part-time applications.

About us

With us, you’ll never be just a number; you’ll be part of a close-knit team that genuinely cares about the people we support, and each other. Since 2008, Partners in Support has provided supported living services across Hertfordshire. We’re proud to be a local, values-led organisation that puts people before growth. We believe in dignity, respect, compassion, and partnership, supporting people to live the lives they choose in their own homes and communities.

About the role

As a Support Worker, you’ll provide emotional and practical support to adults with learning disabilities and autism, helping them to live life their way.

You’ll support people to build confidence, develop independence, learn new skills, access their community by taking part in activities, and do the things that matter most to them. No two days are the same, so if you enjoy variety and want a rewarding role where you can make a real difference, this could be the perfect opportunity.

You will need to be able to use your own computer and tablet/phone to a comfortable level to use the online systems and apps which provide your rota, service details, and payslips. If you are not an avid technology user, don’t worry; all training will be given.

We’re committed to supporting our colleagues through regular check-ins, supervision, training, and ongoing communication, so you’ll feel supported both personally and professionally.

No previous social care experience is required, as full training will be provided.

What we’re looking for

  • Commitment to empowering people
  • Kind, respectful, and patient approach
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Confidence to remain calm in difficult situations
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and sleep-ins on a rota
  • Full UK driving licence preferred

What we offer

You have the flexibility to increase your earnings with sleep-in duties and overtime. With these opportunities, Support Workers earn on average* of £32,000 per year, with the potential to boost your salary even further.

  • From £12.81 per hour, plus £75 per sleep-in
  • Guaranteed hours on a permanent contract
  • Paid birthday leave and long service awards
  • Blue Light Card, Costco membership, and paid DBS
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Ongoing training, upskilling and progression opportunities

*Salary information is based on an analysis of actual full-time employees’ salaries for 2024-25.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and the advert may close before the stated deadline if we find a suitable candidate. We encourage you to apply early to avoid missing out.

To make a real difference in the lives of the people we support, apply now.
