Contract: Full-Time

Hi, we’re a group of seven people who live at Limes, one of the houses here at David Lewis. We’re looking for someone special to join our team – not just as a worker, but as a part of our daily lives.

We have different interests, goals, and needs, and we want someone who will help us learn, grow, and live independently while having fun along the way! Whether we’re learning life skills, exploring new experiences, or just having a good laugh, we need people around us who care, listen, and support us in being the best we can be.

Could this be you?

  • Do you enjoy helping others learn new things and gain confidence?
  • Are you someone who’s kind, patient, and full of energy?
  • Do you want a job where every day is different, and you get to be part of something really meaningful?

If this sounds like you, then we’d love to meet you!

What Will You Do?

As a Residential Educational Support Worker, you’ll be helping us in different ways:

  • Supporting us at home – we need you to be really focused on active support, helping us cook, keep our space tidy, and develop our independence, plus join us in our varied past times – we have lots!
  • Guiding us through our education and training – supporting us in learning new skills and preparing for work.
  • Being there for us – sometimes we need support with our feelings, routines, or personal care.
  • Making life fun – going on trips, swimming, cinema, walks, days out - making great memories together.

What Kind of Person Are We Looking For?

You don’t need loads of experience, just the right attitude and a big heart. If you’re kind, patient, and ready to actively support us in living our best lives, then you’re exactly who we need.

Some things that would be helpful:

  • A good sense of humour (we love to have fun!)
  • Patience and understanding – we all learn in different ways
  • Someone who listens and encourages us
  • Being a driver as we are often out and about 

What’s In It for You?

We know this is a big job, so we want to make sure you feel valued too. Working here means:

  • Great pay enhancements – extra for weekends and bank holiday
  • Free training – including NVQ qualifications in Health & Social Care
  • Career progression – lots of opportunities to develop your skills
  • Health & Wellbeing support – including a counsellor and physio
  • Mentoring Scheme – your own mentor for your first year here at David Lewis
  • A workplace that feels like no other – It’s our home, so we are biased, but your workplace is in a stunning setting 

Are You Ready to Make a Real Impact?

If you want to work somewhere where what you do truly matters, we’d love to have you join our team. Every day you’ll be making a difference in our lives, and that’s something really special.

Apply today and come be a part of our team here at The Limes – we can’t wait to meet you!
