Support workers come from a wide variety of backgrounds - like the people we support - so experience in the care sector is not essential. Life experience and a caring, empathetic nature is more important and we give full induction training and shadowing so those who are new to caring feel supported and confident in the role.

We are actively looking for men and women of all ages to join our team in all areas of Wiltshire. We ask for a minimum commitment of 15 hours of working time per week, or as agreed in excess of this.

More about the team





Our support workers spend quality time with people living with dementia either in their home or out and about in the community. They aim to build relationships and promote independence for people in the early to mid-stages of dementia. There is no such thing as a typical visit as activities will be driven by the interests and enthusiasms of the people we support. It may be chatting at home or going out and about in the community, supporting clients to revisit past hobbies or try something new.

In 2022 Beyond Dementia's Home Support was a finalist in the national 3rd Sector Care Awards, and three individual support workers were finalists in the BBC's Make a Difference Awards. In 2017 our support workers and their managers were named Best Team in the Dementia Care Awards.
