Senior Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support are at the heart of our management teams. We’re currently searching for a fantastic Senior Support Worker to join us in leading our residential service in Rotherham, Canterbury Close. Here, we support up to 10 individuals with learning and physical disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, complex care needs, autism, low levels of challenging behaviour and mental health needs. This service is a welcoming and friendly environment with a dynamic team that supports a fantastic group of people!

As a Senior Support Worker with us you’ll be helping people to gain more independence in their daily lives, whilst assisting the Manager with the day‑to‑day supervision and management of the service. You could be allocating shifts, booking training, inducting new colleagues, supporting with supervision, ordering medication and ensuring the people we support are supported to manage their finances. You’ll never lose sight of why you choose to do this, as our Seniors are still at the heart of providing day‑to‑day support.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who truly wants to make a positive impact—whether that’s helping colleagues grow in confidence or supporting the people we care for to achieve greater independence and reach their goals.

We’re looking for Senior Support Workers who bring the right experience and share our values. If you’re an experienced Support Worker ready for the next step, or you already have senior‑level experience, we’d love to hear from you. To help you succeed, we’ll support you in working towards a Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care as part of your development.
