Are you a Support Worker looking for a new challenge or perhaps thinking of taken your first step in support work?

Outreach3way is part of Dimensions, one of the largest not-for-profits organisations supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, challenging behavior and complex needs and we are driven by our values. Our staff tell us that it's a chance to make a positive difference to people's lives that inspires them.

Whether you have worked in healthcare, mental health, autism, with challenging behavior or maybe you have a background in retail, cleaning and coaching, if you share our values and have a kind and caring nature, we would love to hear from you.

We have a range of opportunities available across our supported living services in Worthing and can offer either part time or full time hours, with a variety of shift timing. If you hold a valid driving licence that would be ideal, though not essential.

We pride ourselves on being a values based employer. That means we believe passionately in:

Ambition- helping people be the best they can be by:

  • Setting personalised and challenging goals.
  • Teaching new skills and encouraging new experiences.

Courage - being brave enough to make a difference, by:

  • Challenging what you feel is not in the best interest of the person you are supporting.
  • Championing what they want to achieve for themselves - and helping to make it happen.
  • Helping the people we support to explore new things - and supporting them to realise what they can achieve.
  • Giving confidence to people in reaching their goals and not being afraid of new challenges.
  • Inspiring innovation and supporting the courage to be creative.

Integrity - being honest and fair in all the things we do, by:

  • Communicating clearly - adapting what you say and how you say it, so that it’s meaningful for the person you’re supporting.
  • Exercising confidentiality when dealing with vulnerable adults - for example, when managing financial and personal details.

Partnership - working with other people to make a bigger difference, by:

  • Understanding the varying needs and requirements of people with disabilities.
  • Developing positive working relationships with those involved in Dimensions – including those we support, their families and carers, your internal colleagues and external agencies.
  • Working as part of a team.

Respect - treating everyone fairly and knowing that everyone’s voice is important, by:

  • Sharing our commitment to Equal Opportunities for all.
  • Treating all people with dignity and respect.

Those are the qualities that you’ll need to join the team - they’re beliefs shared by everyone who works with us.

If you think this is the right role for you, come and make a difference to people’s lives, every working day!
