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.

Dimensions is proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work year after year.

We’re looking for a flexible, reliable and enthusiastic Support Worker to join our team in Market Drayton (TF9), working across multiple support settings in the local area.

You’ll support a range of individuals with learning disabilities, autism and Down syndrome, offering both 1:1 and shared support depending on the service. This is an exciting and varied role where no two days are the same — perfect for someone who enjoys building different relationships and adapting their approach.

Across the services, you’ll support:

• Individuals aged 30s–60s
• A mix of men and women
• People with a range of independence levels and support needs

You’ll provide high-quality, person-centred support across services, including:

• Supporting daily routines and independence
• Personal care (where required)
• Meal preparation and household tasks
• Medication administration (training provided)
• Supporting community activities and outings
• Encouraging social interaction and meaningful engagement
• Providing reassurance and responding to behaviours of concern
• Building positive relationships with individuals and teams

Your role will vary between services, giving you the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and experiences.

Across the services, people enjoy a wide variety of activities, including:

• Shopping trips and café visits
• Walking, farm visits and community clubs
• Social clubs and meeting friends
• Music, DJing and board games
• Creative activities and structured routines
• Watching TV, films and shared leisure time

Some individuals live very independently, while others benefit from more structured support, routines, or guidance around behaviours and social interactions.

This role offers up to 45 hours per week, worked flexibly across services.

Typical shifts include:

• 7:00am – 2:30pm
• 2:30pm – 10:00pm
• Long days: 10:00am – 10:00pm
• Sleep-ins: 10:00pm – 7:00am (£50 paid to sleep)

Flexibility is essential, as shifts and locations will vary depending on service needs.

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• Reliable, adaptable and flexible
• Comfortable working across different services and teams
• Patient, calm and empathetic
• A strong communicator with a good sense of humour
• Confident supporting a range of needs and behaviours
• Proactive and able to use initiative
• Happy to be active and involved in community activities

Experience in care is helpful, but not essential — full training is provided.

Working across multiple services means:

• More variety in your role
• The chance to build a wide range of skills
• Exposure to different support styles and environments
• Opportunities to grow and progress within Dimensions

This is ideal for someone who enjoys flexibility and wants to make an impact in multiple settings.

• A competitive pay rate with uplift for overtime you choose to work
• Flexible shift patterns to suit your needs
• 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 earned pay before payday
• High Street discounts (retail, hospitality, cinema, gyms etc.)
• Life Assurance and Company Pension
• Industry-leading training
• Enhanced DBS paid for by us

• An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this role, the cost of which will be incurred by Dimensions.
• We welcome applications from everyone who has the right to work in the UK, and value diversity in our workforce.
• If a driving licence is required for this role you will need to produce a copy at the onboarding stage.
• As Disability Confident Leaders, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
• As part of our commitment to making reasonable adjustments we can offer support to complete your application. Please contact the Resourcing Consultant Team on 0300 303 9150.
