Why a Support Worker CV is different
A Support Worker CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. PBS, MAPA and PROACT-SCIPr training get hidden away. Your real shift work gets reduced to 'supported clients'. Six seconds to stand out in a stack of applications.
Sausage Dog leads with relevant training: PBS, MAPA, PROACT-SCIPr, MCA, safeguarding. Uses real support work language: person-centred, outcomes, capacity, behaviours of concern. Rewrites bullets around the people supported and outcomes achieved.
Our underlying research, We read 418 UK support worker job adverts, found that 67% want independence-building. That single signal often decides whether a CV makes the shortlist.

Frequently asked
How does Sausage Dog tailor a support worker CV?+
Sausage Dog reads the support worker job description you paste in, identifies the keywords, responsibilities, and qualifications it asks for, then rewrites your existing CV to mirror that language while keeping every fact in your real experience intact. The result is an ATS-friendly CV in under a minute.
Is the output ATS-friendly for support worker roles?+
Yes. The tailored CV uses plain formatting, mirrors the exact keywords in the job description, and keeps section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that applicant tracking systems are built to parse. No tables, columns, or fancy headers that break ATS scans.
Will the rewritten support worker CV still sound like me?+
That is the whole point. Sausage Dog rewrites your real bullet points in your tone, not corporate jargon. It does not invent qualifications or experience you do not have, it just sharpens what is already there for the specific support worker role.
Is it free to tailor a support worker CV?+
Yes. You can tailor one CV per day on the free tier with no card needed. Premium (£9/month) gives unlimited tailoring plus cover letters, interview prep, and LinkedIn rewrites for the same role.
