Female Support Worker - Llanrwst, Conwy

Mencap Cymru are really excited to be taking on a new supported living service in the Llanrwst area of Conwy and seeking Support Workers to join our incredible team.  We hope to open the service in October 2025 and are looking for people interested in part-time contracts.

As a Support Worker, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of individuals with learning disabilities.  You will be working with a diverse group of people, each with their own unique abilities and needs.  From assisting with daily activities to providing emotional support, you’ll play a vital role in their life.

What we're looking for:

• A genuine passion for supporting others.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships.
• Flexibility to work various shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
• A positive and empathetic attitude towards individuals with learning disabilities.
• This role requires you to hold a full, valid UK driving licence and have access to your own car.

Shift times:

Most of our services are 24hr care.  We prepare the rotas at least 4 weeks in advance so you can still plan your personal and social life!

There is also a non-contractual sleep-in available where you will receive an enhanced flat rate payment of £63.70.

All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check and suitable references, one of which, must be your most recent / current employer.

You must hold a clean, valid UK driving licence as this is essential for the role and access to your own car.

Job ID: 34396

We are an equitable, diverse and inclusive organisation and we particularly welcome and encourage disabled applicants and those from the Black and Asian communities to apply for the role as they are under-represented within the workforce.

Please note: This position does not meet the minimum salary requirements for a Health and Care visa under the UK Skilled Worker route, as set by the Home Office.  Therefore, although Mencap is a licensed sponsor, we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.  Applicants must already have the legal right to work in the UK, as we are not able to support new visa applications or sponsorship requests for this vacancy.

Our vision is for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives.

We're here to support people with a learning disability, their families and their carers. We fight for a kinder, fairer and more inclusive society for people with a learning disability to live in.

At Mencap, everyone works with people with a learning disability either providing support or advice, or alongside one another as colleagues.

Belonging at Mencap is for everyone, every day, everywhere.

· Everyone is expected to treat people well and make Mencap an inclusive organisation.

· Every day we grow and learn. It’s okay to make mistakes but we learn from them and make changes

· Everywhere people will feel respected, valued, and safe to be themselves.

We have Belonging network groups that meet online and are open to all colleagues. The groups include people who identify as Black and Asian, LGBTQIA+, disabled or with a long- term health condition, women, parents and carers, and their allies.

We want to encourage everyone to apply to work at Mencap and we offer a variety of different contract types and working patterns. We’re not looking for specific experience. It is your personality and values that will make you a great colleague. We will train and develop you to succeed in the role you’re applying for.
