Job description

Support Worker - Swindon

You must have full right to work in the UK to apply for this role.

We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Support Worker to join our client who specialises in supporting care leavers and asylum seekers aged 16+. This role involves supporting young care leavers or asylum seekers in their journey towards independence. You will be helping to maintain safe and comfortable living environments, supporting with property maintenance, and providing essential one-on-one care to young people as part of their individual care plans.

About the Team
Our Client offers a supportive environment for young people aged 16+ with varied backgrounds. Most of the young people attend college and are independent, though some asylum seekers do not engage in education or work but instead participate in volunteer work through the Harbour Project. This is an excellent opportunity to work with motivated individuals as they prepare for their futures.

About You
As a Support Worker, you'll play a key role in supporting young people with everyday tasks, such as property maintenance (light bulbs, gas meters), assisting with moving young people in and out of homes, and conducting health and safety checks. You'll also be providing one-on-one support as part of their care packages.

Though the young people are generally independent, you'll be there to lend a helping hand when needed, whether it's with practical issues, emotional support, or getting involved in activities outside of their living space.
