    We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support.

    Set in a peaceful, rural environment, within walking distance of the town centre, we support adults with a variety of communication needs as a result of either a severe learning disability, autism or traumatic brain injury.  As a Night Support Worker you’ll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by assisting them with bedtime routines, including personal care and completing regular checks throughout the night.  You will also be expected to complete light domestic duties in any spare time.

    This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to someone’s life and to help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.

    We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service our Support Workers should hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible and composed in their approach as well as experience working with individuals with a severe learning disability, autism or traumatic brain injury.
