Job details
Who we are:
Are you passionate about helping vulnerable individuals live independently? Join our team as an Outreach Support Worker, providing tailored community-based care to people with autism, complex and mental health needs.
LDN London is an award-winning charity with over 60 years’ experience of supporting people with learning disabilities to stay healthy, be safe and live well.
The Outreach Support Worker is responsible for delivering practical and emotional support, developing and delivering person-centred care, and working in partnership with local agencies to promote positive outcomes.
About the role:
As an Outreach Support Worker, you will provide flexible, community-based support to adults with learning disabilities who live in their own homes, with family, or in supported living settings. Your focus will be on enabling each person to live as independently as possible while achieving their individual goals and aspirations.
The Outreach Support Worker will build positive, professional relationships based on trust and respect, taking time to understand each person’s strengths, preferences, communication style, and support needs. Support may include developing independent living skills such as meal planning and preparation, budgeting and money management, travel training, maintaining a tenancy, and accessing healthcare services. It may also involve accompanying individuals to social groups, volunteering opportunities, college courses, employment placements, faith groups, or recreational activities. The post holder will actively promote social inclusion, confidence-building, and the development of meaningful relationships.
The role requires accurate record-keeping, maintaining clear communication with your team, and following safeguarding, health and safety, and medication policies at all times. You will be expected to respond calmly and appropriately to challenging situations, using positive behaviour support approaches where required.
This is a community-based role, so flexibility is essential. You may be required to work earlies, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays on a rota basis to meet the needs of the people we support. You will work in partnership with families, carers, social workers, healthcare professionals, and other agencies to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach to support.
Above all, this role is about empowerment, enabling people to make choices, take positive risks, build skills, and live fulfilling lives on their own terms.
The ideal candidate will be a well organised person with the ability to deliver successful outcomes for the people we support. You will be confident networker and relationship builder with excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
You must be able to demonstrate the ability to develop strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. As a self-starter, you will be able to use your own initiative, can problem solve and prioritise, with good planning and organisational skills. In addition, you will need a positive, resilient attitude, and be flexible and adaptable.
Relevant training will be provided. Adherence to our values is core to our recruitment and will be tested through interviews and during probation.
We are looking for someone who has a good understanding of the needs of people with learning disabilities and can work collaboratively to achieve our goals. The ideal candidate will be able to self-motivate and work independently whilst keeping in line with LDN London’s values.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking for a new challenge!
Why join us:
We offer continuing opportunities for learning and development together with regular supervisions and support for all our staff. We offer:
- the opportunity to work flexibly
- up to 38 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
- a generous pension scheme
- season ticket loans
- family friendly policies and personal/professional development packages

Staff testimonials
A friend mentioned LDN London to me. The website and job information talked about the
different things that I would gain instead of just what I would be doing. Despite it being quite tough at some points, I like being part of a team that helps individuals with their different needs. Overall I believe that LDN London is a great company to work with as they support you in any way possible.
LDN London is a great organisation to work for, that cares about, and supports its employees. Career development opportunities and training are available, and you’ll meet managers and support workers with varied skill sets and you’ll have the opportunity to learn from them. Most importantly LDN London team members make every day fulfilling for the people they support. I know my work is making a positive impact and helping each individual to grow, gain skills, and work towards their independence.
What brought me to LDN London was a career where I could help others. It turned out that I met many wonderful people. I have also had the opportunity to learn new things and develop interpersonal skills. LDN London offers a clear path for further development and promotion. This is why I want to continue along this path, and I am excited to see where this journey takes me.
LDN London is a good company as they always support staff via regular training and one to one supervision. One thing that impressed me the most about LDN is that they promote and support teamwork among staff members. Furthermore, staff remuneration in LDN is better than most care agencies in London and beyond. I have worked for other organisations, but none compared to LDN London, the staff are so friendly and professional.
