The Lifeways Group in Berwick Upon Tweed are currently looking to expand their fantastic team of Support Workers in our local residential services.

You’ll either be an enthusiastic person with plenty of patience looking for a career change to bring new life and experiences into our service or you’ll be an experienced Support Worker with a background in complex emotional or behavioural settings looking for a change and wanting to be part of a team that will make a difference people with complex needs to give them new opportunities in their life both at home and in the community.

You’ll be supporting the service user with general household chores such as cooking, laundry, vacuuming and dusting and in some cases personal care (assisting with bathing, toileting and feeding).
