Support worker

Salary: £13,364 – £17,810 pa

Hours: Full time


Our Support Workers provide personal care and support to the service users living in the residential homes on and around our site in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire. A personalised training programme will give you the skills you need to progress your career with the organisation that’s leading epilepsy care, so no prior experience is necessary.

The opportunities are varied, involving considerable interaction with residents. Support workers are part of a multi-disciplinary team and become fully involved with our clients, helping them to reach their highest potential and maximum quality of life through individualised care plans.

We encourage applications from experienced support workers as well as those new to the care profession.

For an applicant with no prior experience our starting salary is £6.83 per hour (£13,364 basic) moving to £7.07 per hour (£13,822 basic) after successful completion of a 6 month probation period. 

For an applicant with a relevant NVQ and one years experience our starting salary is £7.53 per hour (£14,730 basic) moving to £7.77 (£15,184 basic) after successful completion of a 6 month probation period. 

Shift premiums are payable for night and weekend work as our Support Workers work rotation shift patterns.  Progress up the salary range is by completion of designated training courses.  Once all of the designated training has been completed your salary could reach £17,810 (basic).

Our staff also benefit from 27 days annual leave per annum plus Bank Holidays.
