Do you have a passion for supporting young people and adults with learning disabilities to reach their full potential through fun and enriching experiences?

We're seeking enthusiastic Enablers to join our vibrant community activities team! You'll play a vital role in supporting our service users to develop new skills, build friendships, and explore exciting activities - all in a safe and caring environment.

Since 1996, we've been empowering people with learning disabilities in Devon to achieve their dreams and build fulfilling lives. Our core values of kindness, respect, and positivity guide everything we do.

• Saturday Club: Provides a supportive and engaging environment for social interaction and learning new skills during term-time (runs 36 weeks a year).
• Holiday Club: Keeps the fun going operating Monday - Thursday during school holidays! (runs 10 weeks a year).

• Support young people and adults with learning disabilities or complex needs in a small, friendly team.
• Provide safe, high-quality, and person-centred care, helping individuals achieve their goals and aspirations in a fun and inclusive environment.
• Lead a variety of social activities like arts, sports, and holiday programs – chosen by the participants themselves! Expect exciting days filled with baking, team games, and even snow tubing!

With bank workers we are looking for reliability, however you do have the flexibility to choose when you are available for work as a bank worker (similarly, you may not be needed for work during quieter periods or when we are fully staffed). The working hours that our team can work are:

• Saturday Club: Saturdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm during term-time (36 weeks per year).
• Monday-Thursday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm for 40 days across school holidays (10 weeks per year – Every half-term, 1 week at Christmas, 2 at Easter and 4 in the Summer).

• Experience working with individuals with learning disabilities is preferred. However, we also welcome applications from those with experience in youth or community settings with a passion for supporting young people and adults.
• A genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
• Excellent communication, patience, and a positive attitude.
