Flexible working

Flexible hours make support work a great choice.
Alex worked part-time as a support worker while at university. He now considers the man he supported a close friend.

“Support work is one of the most rewarding careers out there…I watched the person I supported grow into a confident, funny and playful man…the transformation I saw in a matter of a few years reduced his father to tears.”

Making a difference

Mark moved from a management position to support work, and values the difference he makes over anything else.

“This time last year, I was an area manager for a cleaning company: good salary, nice company car, iPad, phone. This time last year, I felt very little of what I did made a difference. I’m now a support worker for Dimensions and I feel everything I do, CAN make a difference.”
