Full time / Part Time

Join our support team at the Brambles

At Brambles, you'll have the opportunity to make every day matter. You'll be supporting seven amazing people, aged between their 50s and 70s, to live the lives they choose, enjoy the things they love, and continue creating meaningful moments and memories.

The people we support love getting out and about and making the most of life. Whether it's swimming, bowling, enjoying lunch at a favourite café, visiting the beach, exploring attractions like Harry Potter World or Sealife, attending social clubs, or treating themselves to a trip to the hairdresser, barber or nail salon, you'll be there to share in the fun and support them to do the things that bring them happiness.

Building genuine relationships is at the heart of this role. Some people communicate without words, so you'll need to be patient, caring and attentive, taking the time to understand each person's unique way of expressing themselves. By listening, learning and showing kindness, you'll help people feel valued, respected and understood.

You'll also provide practical support with daily living, including personal care, mobility support and assisting people who use wheelchairs, walking frames and hoists.

We're looking for someone with warmth, compassion and a positive outlook. If you're the kind of person who sees the individual behind the support needs and believes everyone deserves the opportunity to live a full and meaningful life, you'll be a great fit for our team.

Shifts pattern include: 7am - 2:30pm / 2:30pm-10pm.
