Support Worker

Bright Futures, we champion the potential of every person with autism and a learning disability, believing wholeheartedly in their ability to thrive and lead the most fulfilling lives. We’re looking for passionate and caring Support Workers to join our specialist home in Grappenhall.

Our Grappenhall Children's home, rated OFSTED outstanding, is located in the heart of Warrington, the home supports six children aged 7-18 with a diagnosis of autism and learning disabilities. The children that live in the home enjoy swimming, trips to local park and beaches as well as volunteering within the local community supporting food bank drives and cooking meals for Reach Out Liverpool. As a Waking Night Support Worker, you will help people feel safe settled and well supported throughout the night. You will lead by example, maintaining the highest standards of support and care offering calm guidance to colleagues and helping to maintain a caring positive environment. Your role will include checking on people supported at the home throughout the night, accurately recording anything important and responding to any changes or concerns.

No two days are the same, you could be supporting someone to settle into their new home, develop independence and life skills, enjoy activities they love, or achieve important milestones. You’ll be part of a supportive team creating a safe, positive, and empowering environment where people can truly thrive.

You will help to create a warm, stimulating environment whilst working a mix of day shifts and sleeps to meet individual needs.

You’ll do more than provide care – you’ll be a mentor, advocate, and source of encouragement, helping the people you support to achieve the best outcomes.
