Our supported living service is a welcoming and friendly environment and you can be sure that no two days will be the same! You’ll enhance the life of the lady we support by teaching new life skills, assisting with personal care, encouraging her to access local communities, socialise and engage in activities such as swimming, shopping and cheer‑leading.

This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone’s life and help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals. We’re interested in Support Workers who have both the right experience and values. Our Support Workers should hold a full UK driving licence, be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice, as well as experience working with individuals with autism.

We embrace people’s differences and encourage you to Be You, and so long as you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career.
