About the role

As a Support Worker, you’ll provide emotional and practical support to adults with learning disabilities and autism, helping them to live life their way.

You’ll support people to build confidence, develop independence, learn new skills, access their community by taking part in activities, and do the things that matter most to them. No two days are the same, so if you enjoy variety and want a rewarding role where you can make a real difference, this could be the perfect opportunity.

We’re committed to supporting our colleagues through regular check-ins, supervision, training, and ongoing communication, so you’ll feel supported both personally and professionally.

No previous social care experience is required, as full training will be provided.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Confidence to remain calm in difficult situations
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and sleep-ins on a rota

• Guaranteed hours on a permanent contract
• Paid birthday leave and long service awards
• Blue Light Card, Costco membership, and paid DBS
