Are you a people person? Do you enjoy helping people and making a difference to their life? Dimensions are seeking Outreach Support Workers to join the team working across Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole. Our Outreach Support Workers make a significant difference to the lives of the people we support.

The types of activities that Outreach Support Workers may support with include:

• Providing companionship
• Helping with correspondence
• Assisting with finances
• Trips to the supermarket or other shops
• Helping with tasks around the house

Dimensions are happy to offer a payrate of £12.52 per hour for this role (we also pay a mileage allowance of 45p per mile for journeys made during your working day). Benefits for Support Workers choosing to work with Dimensions include:
