If you’re passionate about helping people with learning disabilities or autism live happy, fulfilling and independent lives, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
We’re looking for caring, enthusiastic and committed people who understand that great support is about much more than care. It’s about getting to know each person, understanding their sensory needs, encouraging independence, creating meaningful experiences and helping them feel truly included in their community.
You’ll become part of a consistent, supportive team, working with the same people and building genuine, trusting relationships over time. Every day brings the opportunity to learn, grow and make a positive difference to someone’s life.
Whether you’re supporting someone to try something new, enjoy a favourite activity, develop new skills or simply have a great day, your support can make a lasting difference.
There are also opportunities to work overtime across our other services if you’d like to earn more and gain experience supporting a wider range of people.
If you’re kind, patient, reliable and genuinely want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Join us and be part of a team where the work you do really matters.
