Support Workers - Learning Disabilities - Newcastle & Gateshead

LIFE by Be Caring is recruiting compassionate, skilled and values-driven Support Workers to join our specialist Learning Disabilities, Autism and Complex Care services across Newcastle and Gateshead. These are active, rewarding roles where you'll be part of structured, person-centred support packages — helping people to live safely, confidently and meaningfully in their communities.

We are unable to offer sponsorships

We're looking for a patient, resilient female Support Worker to join the team supporting a young woman in her own home. She's a Harry Potter fan, loves anything pink, unicorns and crime documentaries — and she has a great sense of who she is and what she wants.

She uses a communication aid and takes her time to express herself. She needs a Support Worker who will give her the space and time to communicate independently, never speaking for her or over her.

You'll also support her with household tasks including cleaning, ordering medication, arranging and attending appointments and managing emails.
