Support Worker – Oswestry
12-Hour Shifts | Full-Time or Part-Time | Day & Night Shifts Available

Are you ready to make a real difference in someone's life — and have a few laughs along the way? We're on the lookout for a caring, fun, and reliable female Support Worker to join our team and support a lovely client in her own home in beautiful Oswestry.

Join Active Assistance, one of the UK's leading providers of complex care, and become part of something meaningful. In our Care in the Home team, we support people with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and other complex needs — helping them live their best lives, at home.

Meet Our Client
She's fun, friendly, and loves a good chat and a giggle! She lives with her mum, stepdad, and young daughter — and family time is super important to her. Whether it's a trip out, a fresh haircut, or a scroll through social media, she's all about enjoying the little things in life.

• Uses a power wheelchair
• Loves getting her hair and brows done
• Enjoys visiting local attractions with her daughter
• Good banter and a sense of humour are a big plus!
• Vapes and is vape/smoker-friendly
• Dislikes untidiness, bad manners, or being left out of decisions

If you're kind, polite, tidy, and love having a laugh — you'll fit right in!

In this role, you'll support one individual with complex needs, working regular weekly shifts to build a consistent, trusted care team. While hours are usually stable, the position is offered on a zero-hours contract as care packages can change.

When You'll Be Working

• Day Shifts: 8am – 8pm
• Waking Night Shifts: 8pm – 8am
• Full-time & part-time available
• Some weekend work required

What You'll Be Doing
You'll be part of a friendly care team providing 2:1 support for our client, helping with:

• Personal care (bed washing, dressing, hair washing)
• Passive exercise
• Bladder and stoma care
• Meal prep
• Light housekeeping (hoovering, laundry, etc.)
• Trips out & appointments
• Moving & handling (with a free-standing hoist)

Bonus for drivers! A full, clean UK licence is required so you can drive her car on community outings.

No experience? No worries! We provide full training, paid shadow shifts, and ongoing support to help you feel confident and ready.
