FitzRoy Residential Care in Rayleigh provides care and support for ten adults with learning disabilities and autism, some of whom also have physical disabilities. We are looking for caring, reliable Support Workers to join our friendly and well‑established team.

The people we support enjoy activities such as swimming, trampolining, listening to music, and watching films — meaning no two days are ever the same.

The Role

As a Support Worker, your role will be varied and rewarding. You will provide person‑centred care and support tailored to each individual’s needs and wishes, working alongside them to identify and achieve personal goals. This enables the people we support to have choice, control, and independence in their everyday lives.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Providing personal care and daily living support
  • Supporting individuals to take part in activities and interests
  • Encouraging independence, choice, and control
  • Promoting a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling lifestyle

Flexibility is essential, as the needs of the people we support can vary from day to day.

Essential Requirements

  • Full UK manual driving licence
  • Willingness to drive FitzRoy vehicles

Contract & Shifts

  • Full‑time and part‑time opportunities available
  • Flexible shifts between 07:00 and 22:00
  • Every other weekend required working both Saturday and Sunday
  • Weekends‑only roles may be considered
  • Sleep‑ins may be required in emergencies, paid at £50 per night

If you’re passionate about supporting people to live life their way and want to be part of a supportive and welcoming team, we’d love to hear from you.

FitzRoy is a national charity, set up 60 years ago by brave parents as a pioneering alternative to institutional care. Their values remain the values of FitzRoy today – we see the person, we are brave and we are creative – and they thread through everything we do.

We support hundreds of people with a range of needs. You could be supporting someone with learning disabilities, autism, acquired brain injuries or mental health support needs. Many of the people we support also have physical impairments or other health issues. Working for us will give you an opportunity to learn, to grow and to transform lives. Join us today.

“It’s hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job.”

“You don’t become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone’s life. That’s what made me want to do this job – I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.”

“FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.”
