Support Worker for Young Adults

We’re looking for experienced and passionate Support Workers to join our fun caring team at St David’s House, supporting young adults aged 21-36 with vision impairment and complex needs.

This isn’t your typical care home. We believe that rigid routines don’t suit everyone - so we focus on flexible, person-centred care that helps our residents build independence, learn life skills, and enjoy new experiences in the community.

• Deliver tailored support to help our young people thrive
• Help our young people meet their personal care and medical needs with dignity
• Enable our young people to access enriching social, leisure and vocational activities
• Work closely with a dedicated team led by a Team Leader
• Be part of an inclusive environment that values quality time and individual potential

You’ll receive full training, a detailed induction, and ongoing development opportunities - including support to achieve a Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care, if you don’t already have it.

About you

We're looking for people who are:

• Kind, friendly and compassionate
• Excellent communicators, especially when working with people with vision impairment and complex needs
• Positive, reliable and great at working as part of a team
• Resilient and able to stay calm under pressure

Working pattern

You’ll work 37 hours per week on a three-week rolling rota, including:

• Early shifts: 07:00 – 17:00
• Late shifts: 15:00 – 23:00
• Occasional weekends: 08:00 – 21:30 or 09:00 – 22:30
