Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference?
At our Learning Disability Day Services we are not just looking for Support Workers. We are looking for passionate, creative and motivated people who want to help others live fulfilling, active and independent lives. This is far more than a care job.
Every day is different. One day you could be supporting someone to achieve a personal goal, the next you might be helping to run a community project, supporting people to learn new skills, enjoy a day out, develop friendships, volunteer, access education or take part in activities that matter to them.
If you want a career where you can see the difference you make every day, we would love to hear from you.

- Access their local communities
- Participate in meaningful activities and opportunities
- Build friendships and relationships

- Share our values and dignity and inclusion
- Enjoy working with people
- Have good communication skills
- Are reliable and adaptable
- Can work on your own initiative and as part of a team
- Are enthusiastic about helping people achieve their goals
