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 individuals who share our values of compassion, respect and person-centred care. The ideal candidate is someone who is genuinely committed to supporting people to live safely and independently in their own homes while promoting dignity, choice and wellbeing at all times. We value people who are kind, trustworthy and reliable, with a strong sense of responsibility. You should be able to communicate effectively, work professionally within care standards, and demonstrate a clear understanding of safeguarding and respect for vulnerable individuals. A positive attitude, willingness to learn and the ability to work both independently and as part of a supportive team are essential. Previous care experience is welcomed but not required, what matters most is having the right values and dedication to delivering high-quality care. At APRA Care, we invest in our staff through training, guidance and ongoing support to ensure you feel confident, valued and able to deliver safe, compassionate and person-centred care.

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.
