With over 1,500 dedicated colleagues, we work closely with local authorities, healthcare professionals, and communities to deliver outcome-focused, person-centred care across homecare, supported living, and specialist services.

About the Role

As an Outreach Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in helping people live healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives. You’ll support individuals to maintain their independence, build confidence, and engage with their local community, whether that’s through daily routines, social activities, or developing life skills.

You’ll also assist with personal care, medication, and maintaining a safe, comfortable home environment. Every day will bring variety, purpose, and the opportunity to make a genuine difference.

We’re proud to offer flexible zero-hour contracts where you can choose to work as many hours as you’d like. To keep things fair for everyone, we ask for a minimum of 20 hours each week, we do ask for some weekend availability, but shifts are limited and balanced fairly across the team. You’ll work on a simple 2-week rolling rota, so you’ll always know your schedule in advance.

• Encourage access to community activities, appointments, and social opportunities.
• Promote positive relationships and support emotional wellbeing.
• Administer and record medication accurately in line with policy.
• Help maintain a safe, clean, and welcoming home environment.
• Accompany individuals to appointments, hospital visits, or short breaks where required.
• Work closely with your Service Manager and team to follow and update care plans.
• Champion independence, dignity, and individuality in everything you do.

What You’ll Bring

• Compassion, patience, and a genuine desire to help others.
• Reliability, flexibility, and a positive attitude to teamwork.
• Good communication and problem-solving skills.
• A commitment to treating every person with respect and empathy.
• Experience in a care or support role is helpful, but not essential, we’ll give you all the training you need.

What You’ll Get

• Flexible contracts to suit your lifestyle.
• Comprehensive induction and ongoing training through our Optimo Learning Academy.
• Clear opportunities for career development and progression.
• A friendly, supportive team who value your contribution.
