Full Job Description

You'll join a warm, skilled team supporting eight adults (six men and two women) aged 40-60 with a range of complex health needs. Each person brings their own personality, preferences, and communication style - and you'll play a vital part in helping them live joyful, meaningful lives. You'll support people with:

  • Epilepsy
  • PEG feeding
  • Complex physical needs
  • Communication challenges
  • Guidance from SALT around feeding and communication approaches
  • Some people enjoy holding hands, some love music and social interaction, while others prefer calmer spaces. Family involvement is strong, and understanding cultural needs - including dietary requirements for individuals from Muslim backgrounds - is important. What Will You Be Doing?
  • Providing personal care and mobility support
  • Following SALT recommendations for safe feeding and communication
  • Administering medication, including PEG feeding and epilepsy protocols
  • Supporting activities such as music, sensory sessions, arts and crafts, baking and gardening
  • Encouraging independence, choice and creativity
  • Building trusting relationships and recognising individual communication cues
  • Working closely with families and healthcare professionals

    You'll bring positivity, empathy and a team-focused mindset. You'll be observant, patient, and comfortable supporting people with complex healthcare needs.
  • We're looking for someone who is:
  • Positive, caring and team-oriented
  • Creative and musical (bonus if you play an instrument!)
  • Observant, patient and culturally aware
  • Comfortable driving a large mobility minibus (manual licence essential)
  • Experience with complex care or Positive Behaviour Support is great, but not essential - full training is provided.

    At Dimensions, you'll find more than a job - you'll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated. Together, we make a real difference - for the people we support and for you. We're proud to be accredited as a Great Place to Work for 8 years in a row. "Making a difference in people's lives and the joy that brings."

  • A competitive pay rate with uplift for overtime you choose to work
  • Flexible shift patterns to support your work-life balance
  • 30 days paid annual leave (including public holidays - pro rata)
  • Opportunities for career progression
  • Supported Learn to Drive scheme (up to 30 lessons + tests paid for)
  • Salary advance scheme - access up to 50% of your pay before payday
  • High street, retail and entertainment discounts
  • Life Assurance and Company Pension
  • Industry-leading training
  • Enhanced DBS paid for by us
