Do you want to make a real difference in someone’s life — and be part of a team that feels like family?

At FitzRoy Gressenhall, we support four older gentlemen with learning disabilities and physical disabilities in a peaceful, homely bungalow surrounded by countryside. Their personalities shine through in everything they do — from enjoying countryside drives and birdwatching to relaxing with a café lunch or a trip to the pub. We’re looking for warm, compassionate part time support worker who can offer flexible support tailored to each person’s individual needs.


 What You'll Be Doing

As a Support Worker, no two days are ever the same. Your role will be to:

  • Build trusting relationships with the people we support, helping them feel safe, valued and empowered

  • Support with daily routines like personal care, dressing, medication and meals

  • Encourage independence with tasks like cooking, laundry, cleaning and budgeting

  • Get out and about – driving our accessible vehicles to take the people we support to appointments, shops, the coast, or even just a scenic drive

  • Join in on activities that bring joy and purpose – whether that’s watching wildlife, playing music, gardening, or socialising over lunch

  • Keep accurate records and follow individual support plans

  • Work flexibly across early, late, and weekend shifts to meet the needs of the people we support


✅ What You'll Need

  • A full UK manual driving licence – you’ll be driving our accessible vehicles

  • Your own reliable transport – our location is rural with limited public transport

  • A positive, respectful and person-centred approach to care

  • Confidence to support people with complex needs, with full training provided

  • Willingness to work weekends and take part in shared team responsibility


💙 Why Join FitzRoy?

We don’t just provide care — we build relationships, support people’s dreams, and celebrate every milestone. If you’re new to care, we’ll train you. If you’re experienced, we’ll support your development and growth.


🎁 What We Offer

  • £13.00 per hour

  • 10% enhancement for weekend shifts

  • 30 days’ holiday inc. bank holidays (increasing with length of service)

“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.”
