Service Area: Adult Disability Srevice - Residential Homes

Salary Band: Band 3 

Salary Range: £30,434 - £35,627 per annum 

Working Arrangements: 37.5 hours per week 

About the Role:

The States of Guernsey are looking for a Support Worker to join one of the Adult Disability Residential Homes.

The role supports adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities living within one of our Residential Homes (Chateau Reve, Shotley Villa, Les Alouettes), where each person is valued as an individual with their own preferences, routines, and ways of communicating. Staff work within a 24‑hour shift system to provide consistent, compassionate support that reflects Guernsey’s Care Values.

Support workers enable people to live meaningful, fulfilling lives by offering personalised assistance with daily activities such as personal care, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and accessing the community. Using the Active Support model, staff focus on doing things with people, not for them—promoting choice, independence, and participation at every opportunity.

As a Band 3 member of the team, the post holder works alongside colleagues and senior staff, taking on co-key worker responsibilities to ensure each person’s needs, goals, and wellbeing are at the centre of their care. The role involves building trusting relationships, listening carefully, and adapting support to each individual’s communication style, sensory needs, and physical abilities.

Staff uphold kindness and dignity in every interaction, maintain openness and fairness in their practice, and actively empower service users to make decisions about their own lives. Additional responsibilities may be assigned by the manager, and staff are expected to hold a driving licence and be willing to drive service vehicles to support community involvement.
