Further Information
Peterborough Pathways supports families to do things that many of us take for granted – a trip to the town, a visit to a play park, going swimming, or maybe just being a friend.
‘Support Worker’ isn’t up there with ‘Astronaut’ or ‘Racing Driver’. But we thought ‘Transforming the Life of a Child with Disabilities’ was a bit long.
One of our team told us:
“Young people with learning disabilities need to be given opportunities”
“It can be difficult to turn off at the end of the day when you are so involved with a young person, it’s not like leaving the office and turning off your computer. But, although challenging, the role of Support Worker is a truly rewarding role and no two days are ever the same. I truly love my job”
Flexible availability is essential for this role as it will include early mornings, evenings, weekends, school holidays and split shifts.

In return we can offer the right candidate:
• Opportunity to accrue annual leave dependent upon shifts
• Increase of pay increment within first year
• Opportunity to join LGPS (Pension Scheme)
• Access to in house and external training
• Opportunity to undertake the National Diploma Health & Social care level 3 with support (funded)
• Supportive Team
• Mentoring by experienced members of team
• Regular 1:1 and Group supervision
But most of all
• A truly rewarding career

So please don't hesitate, we want to speak to you now!
Appointment to this post will be subject to the outcome of an Enhanced Disclosure obtained through the Disclosure and Barring Service. The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
