Female support worker — full-time, 36 hours per week (Sunday–Wednesday) at £16 per hour weekdays and £18 per hour Sundays (approx. £27,768 pa). Based in the Garstang area (PR3) in a semi‑rural family home, this on‑site role requires a full UK driving licence and access to your own car; you will also drive the client’s mobility van. The position is contracted by the client via a legal deputy, managed by the parents with Team Leader support, and recruited by UKCIL in Preston. It operates on a two‑week rolling rota (long days typically 9:00–21:00 on key shifts) — closing date 5 December 2025.

You’ll provide hands‑on care and companionship for a vibrant young woman with a severe acquired brain injury and complex medical needs, including epilepsy and a gastrostomy. Duties include full personal care, manual handling/hoisting, medication administration (training provided), daily records, light domestic tasks, therapy‑led sensory activities (music, painting, baking, messy play), community outings in the electric van and supporting home education with her teacher. No prior experience is essential if you’re calm, confident, compassionate and reliable — gastrostomy experience is beneficial but training and ongoing development are provided. You’ll be working in a respectful family environment and should be comfortable supporting the client’s Christian routines (music/reading). Benefits: 5.6 weeks paid holiday, one week full sick pay then SSP, 3% employer pension contribution and ongoing training.
