Are you passionate about supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or autism to live fulfilling, meaningful lives?

Riverbank Day Opportunities is a welcoming and person-centred service that supports adults with learning disabilities and/or autism to develop skills, build independence, access their local community, and achieve their individual goals. We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic, and proactive Senior Support Worker to join our team on a full-time basis.

As a Senior Support Worker, you will play a key role in supporting people who access the service while providing day to day guidance and leadership to Support Workers. You will help ensure that high standards of care, support, and safeguarding are maintained, whilst promoting dignity, choice, inclusion, and independence. Working closely with the Team Leader, you will contribute to the smooth running of the service and help create positive outcomes for the people we support.

The successful candidate will be passionate about supporting vulnerable adults to achieve positive outcomes and maximise their independence. With experience in health and social care, including supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, they will have strong communication skills, a good understanding of person-centred support and safeguarding.

Why us?

Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos. Find out more about Our Identity, staff networks, and employee benefits here.

Our hybrid working model means office staff are on site for at least half their hours, community-based staff carry out at least half their admin time in a workplace, and customer‑facing roles work entirely from their service location.

We are committed to creating a workplace where positive relationships thrive and everyone feels engaged, supported and able to do their best. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment. Everyone is expected to promote a culture of inclusion, dignity, trust and respect, guided by our vision and Our Identity.

Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
