New Prospects has a model of support that focuses on the skills and abilities of people with learning disabilities. Inspired by those we work with, together we help people build the life they want, and strengthen the communities in which we are placed.

Currently we support people in Newcastle, North Tyneside, Gateshead and Northumberland. We provide day services, outreach and enabling support, and independent supported living.

The Role:

The Support Worker post is an opportunity to provide support in a person-centred way, supporting community connections, creating employment opportunities and helping people to establish a network of relationships – both by taking the initiative and working closely with colleagues with a “can do” approach in line with the Organisation’s values.

The Support Worker also provides personal assistance to people who require it; this includes personal care e.g. practical help to wash, bathe, and cook meals. This position is an opportunity to work creatively with people and the organisation emphasises a team approach to work.

The Association provides great training and support.

The Support Worker working hours can be anything up to 39 hours a week, depending on the needs of the people we support. New Prospects operates flexible working hours linked directly to the needs and wishes of the person supported.
