Rapid Response Support Worker - Drivers

Job Details

This isn't your average care role - Be the reason someone gets to go home!

Full UK Driving Licence required

As a Rapid Response Support Worker, you'll step in at critical moments helping people with complex needs leave hospital safely and rebuild life at home with their families or step in to support stabilising a care package to enable clients to remain in their own home. You'll bring calm, confidence, and consistency when it matters most.

If you're experienced, adaptable, and motivated by making a real difference, this role was made for you!

Why You'll Love This Role:

• See the direct impact of your work often within days
• No two assignments are the same
• Work autonomously while being supported by clinical and care teams
• Help families through some of their most stressful moments
• You'll be trusted to lead, stabilise, and mentor

This is a role for someone who thrives on responsibility and purpose!

You'll support the set-up and stabilisation of both new and existing complex care packages, including:

• Supporting safe and timely hospital discharges
• Providing high-quality personal care and daily living support
• Creating routines and helping clients regain independence
• Offering reassurance and continuity to families
• Mentoring new Support Workers and modelling best practice
• Liaising clearly and professionally with Care Managers and clinical teams
• Organising essentials such as medication, supplies, and care equipment

Flexibility That Works Both Ways

Depending on client needs, you may:

• Work live-in placements (sometimes 3+ weeks for continuity)
• Work live-out shifts (accommodation may be provided)
• Travel across the UK to support care packages
• Work occasional unsociable hours

This role suits someone who enjoys variety and flexibility.

What We're Looking For:

• Full UK Driving Licence
• Proven experience in complex care
• Confidence working independently
• Strong communication and organisation skills
• A calm, professional approach with clear boundaries
• Hospital discharge experience is desirable
• Level 2 Health & Social Care qualification or above is desirable
