Support Worker

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Support Worker to help individuals live their lives as independently as possible. In this role, you will provide person-centred support tailored to each individual’s needs, promoting choice, dignity, and independence. You will assist with daily living activities, emotional wellbeing, and community engagement, empowering individuals to build confidence, develop life skills, and achieve their personal goals. The ideal candidate will be patient, reliable, and committed to making a positive difference in people’s lives.

At APRA Care, we are looking for a kind, reliable, and motivated Support Worker who is passionate about helping individuals live fulfilling and independent lives. The ideal candidate will be patient, empathetic, and respectful, with a genuine desire to support people in a person-centred and empowering way. You should be flexible, proactive, and able to work both independently and as part of a team. Strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and a commitment to safeguarding, dignity, and equality are essential. Previous experience in care is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided to candidates who share our values and dedication to making a real difference in people’s lives across Cornwall.

A typical day for a Support Worker at APRA Care is varied, rewarding, and centred around the needs of the individuals you support. Your day may start by helping individuals with their morning routines, such as personal care, getting dressed, preparing breakfast, and planning their day. You will offer encouragement and emotional support, helping them build confidence and independence.

Throughout the day, you may support individuals to attend appointments, go shopping, take part in community activities, or enjoy hobbies and social time. You will assist with practical tasks such as meal preparation, light household duties, and managing daily routines, always encouraging individuals to do as much as they can for themselves.

You will also spend time listening, chatting, and building positive relationships, ensuring each person feels respected, valued, and safe. At the end of your shift, you will update records, communicate with colleagues, and ensure a smooth handover so that care remains consistent and person-centred.
