Make a Real Difference – One Person, One Life, One Team

Are you an experienced Support Worker looking for a meaningful role where you can truly build a connection with one individual? Or are you a caring, energetic person with the right values and experience who wants to work somewhere that genuinely puts people first?

At Glenholme Healthcare, we are proud to support individuals with learning disabilities and autism to live rich, meaningful, and independent lives. We’re currently recruiting male Support Workers to join our Brighton team at 67 Saltdean Drive, supporting a young man with learning disabilities and autism in a 1:1 supported living environment.

About the Individual You’ll Be Supporting

You will be supporting a young adult male who is full of energy, character, and enthusiasm for life. He enjoys:

• Going bowling or to the cinema
• Eating out and visiting cafés and pubs
• Shopping trips and choosing his own food
• Travelling independently by public bus
• Attending college and structured routines

He thrives with consistent, calm, confident support and benefits from clear communication, reassurance, and positive role modelling. At times, he can become anxious, which may lead to behaviours of concern however, you will not be alone.

You will work closely with our in-house Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Lead, following clear, person-centred strategies to reduce anxiety, promote emotional regulation, and prevent escalation. Glenholme prioritises supporting staff just as much as supporting service users.
