What is the job really about?
We support people with learning disabilities to live the life they choose.
Just like everybody else, they have goals, hopes, aspirations and dreams – and just like everybody else, some days are difficult.
Your role is to provide people with ‘just enough support’, so that they develop their skills and become ever more independent; to motivate and encourage; to establish healthy routines; and make the connections that can take them in the direction of their goals.
When you do this job really well, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you changed someone’s life for the better.
Many of our colleagues find that they can earn a living doing something that they love. It doesn’t get any better than that, so if this sounds like something for you, follow the application guidelines.

Many colleagues enjoy the day-to-day interactions that being a support worker brings. Others want to step onto a career path. Our CEO and Director of Operations both started out as support workers, so there are no limits as to how far you can go.
We love to promote from within, and where people are identified as wanting to progress, we run a Leadership Development Programme, and put them on a Succession Plan to prepare them for their next step up.
We recruit for values
If you’ve got experience in this kind of work that’s great. If you haven’t that’s not a problem, if you can show that you share our values. We recruit based on values, because we can train you in the skills.
Our values are really simple we: -
Rewards
We offer a competitive salary and benefits packages. We also will pay up to an additional 4% of your salary into a pension plan for you, which will grow every year until you retire.
We provide training and will help you gain your NVQ qualifications, and as we believe in promoting from within, you will also have the chance to progress in your career with us.
You may be required to sleep-in overnight at one of our facilities or people’s homes. You’ll be paid extra for this and given time off in lieu when you attend house meetings.
You will also receive twenty days paid holiday plus eight statutory bank holidays.
Shortlisting will commence as and when applications are received so please check your inbox and spam/junk mail for your invite to interview email.
