Do you want to do the right thing, the right way?

At Laburnum Care Group, we don’t just provide care; we create safe, meaningful lives for the people we support.

We are looking for compassionate, values-driven Support Workers who are committed to delivering trauma-informed, person-centred care for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs.

If you believe in dignity, respect and doing what’s right, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll do

In this role, you’ll bring person-centred support to life by making each individual’s voice, choice and aspirations the driving force behind everything you do.

You’ll help people build daily living skills, grow their independence and access meaningful social, recreational and vocational opportunities. Your approach will be holistic, supporting physical, emotional and social wellbeing while using the Active Support model and Positive Behaviour Support to nurture confidence, resilience and life skills.

You’ll work closely with a diverse multidisciplinary team, maintaining high-quality records and upholding dignity, respect, equality and inclusion in every interaction.

Every day, you’ll play a key role in empowering people to live fuller, richer and more connected lives.

What we’re looking for

Essential:

• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• Care Certificate or equivalent
• Experience providing care or support within health or social care settings
• Ability to make appropriate autonomous decisions within your skill level
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, tailored to individual needs
• ICT skills
• Resilience, adaptability, emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills
• A compassionate, person-centred approach
• Ability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Flexibility and responsiveness in dynamic care environments
• Patience and emotional regulation in high-pressure situations

Why join us?

At Laburnum, you’ll step into a supportive and inclusive environment where your compassion and values genuinely matter.

You’ll have access to ongoing training and development, real opportunities to grow your skills and build your career, and the chance to make a meaningful difference every single day.

It’s a place where your commitment is recognised, your growth is encouraged and the impact you make truly counts.

This is more than a job; it’s about showing up every day and asking: “Am I doing the right thing, the right way?”
