What will your day look like?

At the core of our mission is enhancing the lives of individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and other complex needs, driven by collaboration, compassion, and understanding. No two days are the same in this role, some days are steady and others are hectic trying to fit everything in. You may have to juggle round appointments but that is the challenge and that is what makes the role interesting and gives you job satisfaction. On a day-to-day basis you will support with:

Socialising and attending community activities, promoting hobbies & interests.
Providing physical support, including helping with household tasks and personal care.
Supporting with life skills, such as shopping and money management.
Delivering individual support plans.

No experience needed - we provide FULL training and will give you the skills you will need to become an excellent Support Worker. Things we can’t teach are values such as kindness, compassion, empathy, and a desire to make a difference, so it’s important that you already have these.
