Are you someone who wants to make a real difference every day? Do you enjoy supporting people to live independently, try new things, and be part of their community? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

We're currently recruiting for Support Workers to join our friendly and growing Supported Living team. Whether you're looking for the stability of a contracted role or the flexibility of bank shifts, we have opportunities to suit you.
About the role:

As a Support Worker, you'll be working with adults with a range of needs-this may include learning disabilities, autism, mental health challenges, or physical disabilities. Your role will be to support individuals to live full and meaningful lives in their own homes and local communities.

You'll be delivering person-centred support, helping each person to achieve their own outcomes and live life on their terms.

* Kind, respectful, and supportive
