Leading Lives provides social care support for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs across Suffolk and beyond in the home and in the community. We support our customers to lead the life they choose, tailoring our services to meet their individual needs. Leading Lives customers, supported by our professional Support Workers, can experience new opportunities, retain or gain independence, develop friendships and try new activities or learn new skills in a welcoming environment.

It is now more essential than ever we ensure our customers are fully supported during the COVID-19 pandemic. Support Workers at Leading Lives are Key Workers doing all they can to continue the valued support our customers deserve. We are seeking Support Workers who can offer their valuable time to support our customers lead the life they choose.

The Role:

Location: Beccles, Bungay and surrounding areas, Suffolk

Salary: £8.72 per hour (+up to 8% employer’s pension contribution)

Hours: Permanent and temporary, full and part-time 16-30 hours per week

We are looking for friendly, kind and dependable Support Workers with high standards and the drive to make the Leading Lives difference. You must have a can-do attitude and the ability to build positive relationships with our customers who have a variety of support requirements.

Our Independence Plus service supports our customers to live independently in their own home and do they things they want to do. We provide high quality, bespoke support built around the needs of the individual.

Due to the nature of the role, there is a requirement for our Support Workers to work flexibly within the locality, supporting our customers across our various services in the Bungay area.

Whilst experience in a similar organisation/role would be advantageous, we believe that the right values and attitudes are also important when recruiting new staff.

Ideally you will have a full, clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle, as per service needs.

Please note due to the nature of the work we do with customers, all Leading Lives appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
