Support Worker role with Salutem Care and Education based at Kazdin House in Plymouth (PL6 5ES) supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism in a warm, three‑bed residential home. You’ll provide daily, person‑centred support that helps residents live an active, meaningful life — from routine support at home to outings and activities that create real memories (the team has enjoyed trips such as Harry Potter World, the aquarium and seaside days). This permanent, full‑time position pays £12.70–£13.95 per hour, offers flexible shift patterns including days, nights and sleep‑ins, and the closing date for applications is 03 December 2025 (job ref 58385544). The role suits someone who values compassion, consistency and making an everyday difference rather than a traditional 9–5 job.
This opportunity will particularly appeal to women carers looking for flexible, family‑minded work with clear routes for progression. Salutem offers structured development via competency frameworks and pay scales, regular progression reviews, and a range of staff benefits such as a Blue Light Card discount scheme, Wagestream for early access to pay, a refer‑a‑friend reward scheme, an affordable Sovereign Health Care plan, Canada Life group life assurance, pension eligibility, Blink for internal community updates and a free DBS check. Salutem places staff wellbeing and continued learning at the heart of its culture and is proud to be listed on jobsincare.com. To apply, please click the "Apply Now" button beside this advert.
