Advance is looking for Casual Support Workers in Sarisbury Green, Southampton SO31 to support customers with learning disabilities, autism, complex needs and mental health conditions so they can live the lives they choose.

We offer great benefits, flexible working and all the training and support you need to kick start a rewarding career in Social Care.

• Assisting with personal care and hygiene (if required)
• Medication administration (if required)
• Supporting with preparing and cooking meals
• Supporting with attending medical appointments
• Supporting with social activities
• Supporting with independent skills

• Supporting with regular checks on the customer to ensure their safety

Many of our Support Workers have progressed to manager roles and some have moved into other areas of our business. Once you're with us, there are genuine opportunities to learn, develop and build a long‑and‑rewarding career. You can also work flexibly and fit your role around your other commitments.

You don't need to have previous experience working in care or support to be successful. What matters are your values, your passion and your determination to make a difference in the lives of people with autism or learning disabilities.

If you think a Casual Support Worker role sounds right for you, you will need to be regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing and the Care Quality Commission. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people we support. You will be required to provide evidence of right to work and an enhanced DBS disclosure will be required for this role, the cost of which will be covered by Advance.

At Advance, safeguarding is embedded in our organisational culture and reflects our values, behaviours and the way we work together. We believe that creating a safe environment is not just about compliance, but about cultivating trust, openness and accountability at every level.

Ryan Brummitt, Executive Director of Support, oversees our safeguarding arrangements and ensures that concerns are acted upon quickly, sensitively and in line with national legislation and local safeguarding procedures.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. Whether you are a customer, family member, colleague or partner organisation, if you have any concerns about the welfare or safety of someone we support – or of any member of our team – please don't hesitate to get in touch.
