Care Support Worker - Exeter (Driver)

Support Worker (Driver Essential) £13.10 per hour + £50 sleep ins

Shift pattern:

8am - 10pm

As a Lifeways Support Worker, you'll do far more than provide care.

You'll help people build confidence, maintain their independence, stay connected to the people who matter to them and live the life they choose.

We're looking for caring, reliable people who want to make a genuine difference. You don't need previous care experience. What matters most is your attitude, values and willingness to support others.

A full driving licence is essential for this role, but not because you'll spend your day driving from appointment to appointment. Driving gives the people we support opportunities.

It means helping someone visit family, get to college, attend a job interview, enjoy a day out, pursue a hobby, go shopping independently or simply spend time in their local community.

Sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impact. Whether that's somebody ordering a coffee independently for the first time, catching up with friends, or building the confidence to try something new, you'll play a part in making those moments happen.

What will you be doing?

No two days are the same, but your role may include:

Supporting people in their own homes and within their local community

Encouraging independence and helping people achieve personal goals

Supporting people to attend appointments, activities and days out

Building positive and meaningful relationships

Helping people develop life skills and confidence

Supporting people to maintain relationships with family and friends

Providing emotional support and encouragement

Alongside this, you may also provide support with:

Personal care

Medication

Meal preparation

Household tasks

Budgeting and daily routines

Great support is about much more than personal care, but personal care may form part of the role depending on the needs of the people you support.

Every person is different. Every day is different. That's what makes the role so rewarding.

What You'll Need

A full UK driving licence

A caring, positive and respectful attitude

Good communication and interpersonal skills

A willingness to learn and develop

No previous care experience required, as full training will be provided
