Job description

Support Worker for Deaf Client – Male Applicants Only

Location: Liverpool Job Type: Permanent and Bank Hours of work: Flexible Hours Salary: £13.45 – £15.85 per hour

Support Worker – Liverpool

Our services have been rated Outstanding by the CQC.

We're looking for a dedicated Support Worker to provide personalised support to a gentleman living in Liverpool. This is a meaningful opportunity to build a genuine working relationship and make a real difference to someone's daily life.

About the Person You'll Support

You'll be working with an easy-going 61-year-old BSL user who is Deaf. He loves football, spending time with dogs, and keeping active and busy. He thrives on routine, likes to plan his own week, and enjoys a wide range of activities — so you'll need to be someone who can keep things structured and consistent.

He has mental health support needs and communicates primarily through BSL and body language. Poor communication can be unsettling for him, so a clear, calm, and patient approach is essential. When he needs space, time to process and a calm environment help him most.

Your Role Will Include

• Medication prompting and administration

• Meal preparation and nutrition support

• Community access and social support

• Travel support and household tasks

• Sensory and learning/routine support

• Implementing and working within a PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) plan

• Building a warm, consistent, and trusted relationship

What Makes a Great Match

The ideal candidate will be calm, patient, and experienced in supporting people with mental health needs. BSL skills and Deaf awareness are essential, and experience with medication support and MAPA/PBS approaches is highly valued. Male applicants only (due to service user needs). A driving licence is not required as the client uses public transport. You'll understand the importance of clear communication and consistency, and be committed to supporting his independence and wellbeing.
