Ready to take the next step in your care career?

At FitzRoy Gressenhall, we support four older gentlemen with learning disabilities and physical disabilities in a peaceful, homely bungalow surrounded by the Norfolk 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 an experienced, caring and motivated Senior Support Worker to join our dedicated team and help lead the delivery of outstanding person-centred support.

🌟 What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Support Worker, you'll lead by example while supporting people to live independent, fulfilling lives.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting people with personal care, medication, meals and daily living activities
  • Promoting independence, choice and dignity in everything you do
  • Helping develop and review support plans and risk assessments
  • Leading shifts and providing guidance and support to colleagues
  • Administering and recording medication in line with policies and procedures
  • Supporting people to access the community, attend appointments and enjoy social activities
  • Driving FitzRoy's accessible vehicles for outings and appointments
  • Maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance with care standards
  • Working closely with families, health professionals and the wider team
  • Supporting new colleagues through induction and on-the-job coaching

✅ What You'll Need

  • Experience supporting people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities or complex support needs
  • A positive, person-centred approach and passion for delivering high-quality care
  • Confidence leading shifts and supporting colleagues
  • Good communication, organisational and record-keeping skills
  • A full UK manual driving licence
  • Your own reliable transport, as the service is in a rural location with limited public transport links
  • Flexibility to work a rota including early, late and weekend shifts

💙 Why Join FitzRoy?

At FitzRoy, we don't just provide support. We build relationships, encourage independence, celebrate achievements and help people live the lives they choose.

We'll invest in your development and give you the opportunity to grow your career within a leading learning disability charity.

“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.”
