Are you passionate about helping adults with learning disabilities live independently and safely in their communities? If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference every day, we'd love you to join our friendly and supportive team at Sheffield City Council.



We're currently recruiting for four part-time positions:

3 roles at 21 hours per week

1 role at 18 hours per week

This is a 24/7 service, so flexibility is important. You'll be part of a rota that includes weekends and bank holidays, and you may work across the city as needed.

What You'll Be Doing

Providing personal and practical support to adults with learning disabilities and complex needs. Promoting independence, dignity, and choice in daily routines.

Responding to urgent support needs and contributing to safeguarding.

You'll be joining a welcoming team where communication, teamwork, and a commitment to learning are valued. We're proud of our positive, people-focused culture and our dedication to high standards of care.

What We're Looking For

Experience in care (paid, voluntary, or informal) is welcome. Calm, adaptable, and able to respond to changing needs. Confident working both independently and as part of a team. Respectful of confidentiality, dignity, and individual rights. Physically able to support people with mobility and daily tasks. Willing to complete relevant training.

What We Offer

Comprehensive induction and ongoing training, including Respect Training. Regular reflective supervision and support from experienced managers. Opportunities for skills development. Flexible working options and generous holiday entitlement. An inclusive, diverse, and supportive workplace.

If you're ready to make a positive impact and grow your career in a caring environment, we'd love to hear from you.
