Female Support Worker

Female Support Worker – Make Every Day Meaningful

Location:
Corby

Mencap is looking for caring and dedicated Female Support Workers to support three ladies aged 46–78 to live active, fulfilling lives.

This is a vibrant service where no two days are the same. You’ll be supporting with personal care, mobility, medication, and finances, while also sharing life’s everyday joys — trips into town, cake and coffee dates, meals out, theatre and musical performances, park visits, caring for animals, getting hair and nails done, and maintaining close family relationships. One lady also attends a day centre three times a week.

One individual uses a wheelchair when out in the community, and the ladies enjoy being out and about as much as possible.

7:00 am – 2:30 pm

2:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Sleep‑in: 10:00 pm – 7:00 am (enhanced flat rate £62.45)

• A genuine passion for supporting others
• Strong communication skills and a positive, empathetic approach
• Flexibility to work a range of shifts
• A driver is preferred

Part‑time with flexible hours based on availability.

All roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and references. Due to the nature of the service, this role is open to female applicants only under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1.

If you’re looking for a role where you can build real relationships and truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

We offer an impressive range of benefits designed to support and reward our employees, including 24 days of paid holiday (excluding bank holidays, pro‑rate), discounts at leading high‑street retailers, access to health cash plans, interest‑free loans, and many more exciting offerings. For more details on what we have to offer, please see the attached document and below link with all the fantastic benefits available to you as a member of our team!

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 carer’s. 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.
