Support Worker ES288 in Newhaven inNewhaven PUBLISHED WED 5 NOV 2025 Jump to job information section

Support Worker ES288 with Independent Lives in Newhaven, East Sussex — a part‑time, permanent role offering 2 hours of on‑site work every Tuesday supporting a man with cystic fibrosis and some learning difficulties. You’ll provide companionship and practical support: getting out into the community, accompanying him to appointments, helping with phone calls and day‑to‑day administration, and assisting with finances. A driving licence and own vehicle are required. The hourly rate is to be confirmed; training is available if you’re keen but lack extensive experience. This role suits someone who is organised, patient and respectful — particularly women and carers looking for a short, reliable shift that fits around other responsibilities while providing meaningful, hands‑on support.

You must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced DBS check. Successful applicants will be engaged by the individual employer rather than Independent Lives and the role may be offered as employed or self‑employed; employed posts come with an employment contract and holiday pay. Independent Lives is a Disability Confident employer and will generally offer interviews to applicants declaring a disability who meet the minimum criteria.
