About this role
Partners in Support is looking for a Support Worker to join their St Albans team on a part-time basis, providing day-to-day emotional and practical support to adults with learning disabilities and autism. The role involves helping people build confidence, develop independence, learn new skills, and participate in their communities—work that varies day to day depending on individual needs and goals. You'll work both independently and as part of a close-knit team, with flexibility to take on additional sleep-in duties and overtime if you want to increase your earnings.
The organisation values person-centred support and has been rated Outstanding by the CQC. No prior social care experience is required; full training will be provided. You'll need a comfortable level of digital literacy to use rosters, service systems, and apps, though training is available if you're not confident with technology. The role demands patience, respect, and the ability to stay calm under pressure, along with flexibility to work evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and occasional sleep-ins on a rota basis. A full UK driving licence is preferred.
The base rate is £12.81 per hour, with £75 per sleep-in shift. The part-time position comes with guaranteed hours on a permanent contract, paid birthday leave, long service awards, and access to an Employee Assistance Programme. There's also scope for progression and ongoing training. This role suits someone genuinely committed to supporting people's independence and wellbeing, who values variety in their work and can adapt to a flexible schedule.
