Why This Role Is Different

What if your next support role actually took you somewhere?

At Arch Care, we’re looking for caring, dependable people who want to make a difference to adults in their local community, while building their own skills and future. This isn't a role where you'll be based in the same building day after day.

You'll be out on the road across North Somerset, supporting people to live as independently as possible and providing the right support as their needs change.

And while you invest your time in the people we support, we invest in you too. Your required training is paid, there are opportunities for qualifications to be funded or part-funded, and following successful completion of probation you'll be able to explore further opportunities within Arch Care.

As you progress, opportunities are available to move into higher-paid roles, increasing your earning potential as your skills and responsibilities grow.

Location

We're particularly keen to hear from people living in or around:

• Nailsea
• Clevedon
• Claverham
• Cleeve
• Congresbury
• Yatton
• Portishead
• Weston-super-Mare

Being based locally puts you close to our head office and within easy reach of the communities you'll be supporting. This is an on-the-road position, so a driving licence and use of a car are essential.

About the Role

Good support isn't about doing everything for someone. It's about knowing when to step in, when to encourage and when to help someone do more for themselves. You'll support adults across North Somerset with the things that help them maintain their independence, wellbeing and quality of life.

That could mean practical support one day and helping someone access their community another. Importantly, people's circumstances don't stand still. The needs of the adults we support may change over time, which means our team needs to be able to change with them.

For that reason, you must be willing and comfortable to undertake personal care when required. It's an important part of ensuring someone can continue receiving support from people they already know and trust as their needs change.

What You'll Be Doing

• Delivering person-centred support to adults across North Somerset
• Helping people develop or maintain their independence
• Travelling between the people you support throughout your working day
• Supporting people to access their local community and everyday activities
• Providing personal care when required
• Recognising changes in someone's needs and responding appropriately
• Keeping accurate records and communicating effectively with colleagues

Who We're Looking For

Experience can be valuable, but who you are and how you treat people matters too. You could be a great fit if you're:

• Compassionate, patient and respectful
• Dependable when somebody is relying on you
• Comfortable working independently while still being part of a wider team
• Adaptable enough to respond when someone's needs change
• Willing to undertake personal care
• Happy being out and about rather than based in one workplace
• Able to work one day every other weekend

You'll also need a driving licence and access to a car because travelling is an essential part of the role.

What You’ll Get

Start earning. Keep developing. £13.95 per hour on weekdays, £14.95 per hour at weekends

Paid training
Required training isn't something we expect you to complete unpaid. You'll be paid while undertaking the training required for your role.

Support towards qualifications
As you develop with Arch Care, relevant qualifications may be funded or part-funded, depending on factors including the type and cost of the qualification and your length of service.

A route to higher earnings
Successfully complete your probationary period and you'll be able to explore further opportunities within Arch Care. Higher rates of pay are available as you progress within the company.

A chance to build a career
Whether you want to deepen your knowledge, gain qualifications or eventually take on greater responsibility, there are opportunities to explore where your strengths could take you.

Work that matters
At the end of a shift, you'll know what your time achieved: helping another person maintain their independence, choices and quality of life.
