We are looking for kind, reliable and motivated Support Workers to join our friendly and supportive team.

As a Support Worker, you will support adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex support needs to live independent, fulfilling and meaningful lives.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting someone to develop a new life skill, helping them access the community, encouraging greater independence or simply being there to provide reassurance and support when they need it most.

• Supporting individuals with daily living tasks and personal care, where required

⏰ Shift Patterns – Including Weekends

Flexibility is essential, with a mixture of day, night and weekend shifts available:

• 🌞 Day Shift: 07:30 – 21:30

• 🌙 Night Shift: 21:15 – 07:45

💼 What We’re Looking For

You don't need previous experience in a support role. What matters most is your attitude, values and willingness to learn.
