About our Service
At our Shirley service, we support two ladies with learning disabilities who share a welcoming and active home. They enjoy socialising, shopping music, meals out and many other things.
As part of our team, you’ll provide high-quality, flexible support tailored to each person’s needs. Your role is to empower individuals to live as independently as possible and to make the most of every day—at home and in the community.
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.
Shift times:
All 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!
- Days: Between 07:00-22:00
- Sleep-ins: 22:00-07:00
- There is also a sleep-in available where you will receive an enhanced flat rate payment of £63.70.
At Mencap, we’re passionate about finding the right people to support those we care for. We interview frequently and may appoint before the closing date, so we encourage early applications.
