Provider Service Worker

We are seeking motivated and enthusiastic Provider Service Workers to join our friendly and professional team. We have various vacancies for Provider Service Workers in a range of locations and hours across Sheffield.

The successful candidates will support adults with a learning disability, autism, physical and sensory needs. This will include individuals who have additional or complex support needs. The role may involve working across services city-wide, so flexibility with rotas is essential. Weekend and bank holiday working will be required as part of the rota. This will be paid at an enhanced rate.

Learning Disabilities Services are highly valued within Sheffield City Council, and this role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a positive difference to people’s lives. We offer:

A supportive team that can provide experienced advice and guidance when needed.
A manageable workload, with support from colleagues and managers.
Progressive senior leaders who are committed to Learning Disabilities Services and to investing in the workforce.
Regular supervision from experienced managers.
Comprehensive training and personal development, to help you support people safely and confidently.

As part of the Learning Disabilities Team, you will demonstrate excellent communication skills, work effectively as part of a team, and show a commitment to completing any training required for the role. You will also be expected to work in line with Sheffield City Council’s values: people are at the heart of what we do; openness and honesty are important to us; and together, we get things done.

We are unable to offer sponsorship currently.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
