Our team works closely with residents to empower them to develop practical skills, build meaningful connections, and achieve their aspirations. Every day, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can feel valued and ready to take their next steps.

As part of our dedicated team, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. From helping residents enhance their confidence and independence to collaborating with local organisations and training schemes, your work will have a meaningful and lasting impact. With every interaction, you’ll contribute to fostering a space where residents feel safe, supported, and empowered.

If you’re passionate about creating opportunities and providing compassionate care, a role at Cale House offers the chance to bring your skills and enthusiasm to a rewarding and dynamic environment. Together, we can help people build brighter futures.

Our Support Workers play a pivotal role in empowering individuals as they work towards independent living. By fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment, you’ll help residents build confidence, develop practical skills, and take positive steps forward in their lives. Working alongside a compassionate and dedicated team, you’ll make a meaningful difference every day while contributing to an environment that celebrates growth and mutual respect.

In this role, you’ll provide tailored, person-centred support, helping residents access the resources they need to thrive. From supporting personal plans to collaborating with external organisations, your approach will prioritise dignity, choice, and respect. Whether you’re assisting with daily routines, helping residents engage with their community, or responding to their evolving needs, your work will have a lasting impact.

We’re looking for someone who is adaptable, compassionate, and committed to promoting a high standard of care and respect for all. This role offers opportunities for personal and professional development, empowering you to grow alongside the individuals you support. If you share our values and are passionate about making a difference, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card.

We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
