Imagine a job where you can change someone's life by doing the things you take for granted?

As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you’ll play an important role each day by supporting people to take part in the activities and experiences they value, helping them to live with confidence and independence.

It might be something simple like going for a drive or listening to their favourite music. Or it could be something bigger like supporting someone to visit the gym for the first time, start a new hobby, or even take a trip abroad.

At this location you will be supporting our gentleman with his everyday routine and enjoying his interests and hobbies with him, which he loves to be involved with. Being with someone who is calm and patient is important to this gentleman.

You will be required to work different shifts, which will be allotted on our rota system. You must have a full UK manual driving licence for this role and be willing to drive a mobility vehicle. We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs. What truly matters is your kindness, positivity, and desire to make a difference in someone’s day.

Making a difference for those we support includes:

• Allowing people to fulfil and enjoy their daily routines and achieve their goals
• Building trust, connection, and independence
• Developing yourself alongside a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team of colleagues
