Careers in Specialist Care
Working with Independent Lifestyles is rewarding, varied and meaningful. Every day, our teams make a real difference by supporting people to build confidence, develop independence and live full lives in their own homes and communities.
We are looking for people who are kind, reliable, motivated and committed to providing high-quality support. Experience in care can be helpful, but it is not always essential – what matters most is having the right values, a positive attitude and a genuine interest in supporting others.
Why work with us?
At Independent Lifestyles, our staff are valued, supported and encouraged to grow. We provide training, supervision and ongoing development opportunities to help you build your skills and progress in your career.
Depending on your role, you may have the opportunity to work towards recognised professional qualifications and develop your experience in specialist areas such as autism, learning disabilities, acquired brain injury, mental health and positive behaviour support.
What we look for
We are interested in people who are:
- caring, respectful and person-centred
- reliable and conscientious
- confident working as part of a team
- able to support people with dignity, patience and understanding
- willing to learn and develop
- committed to helping people achieve positive outcomes
Support Worker roles are usually worked on a rota basis and may include evenings, weekends, sleep-in duties and/or waking nights, depending on the service.
All appointments are made in line with our safer recruitment procedures and equal opportunities principles.
