Supporting people to live great lives
At Affinity Trust, we empower people to lead meaningful lives on their own terms. As a support worker, you will play a key role in promoting independence and building social connections. Your support will make a real difference in their lives.
We currently have opportunities for Bank Support Workers to work across our homes in Brede, Bexhill on Sea, Fairlight and St Leonards in East Sussex.
Who will I support?
You will be supporting people with learning disabilities with all aspects of daily living, and who all enjoy getting out and about in their community. They like to join in with local events, love to grab a coffee, go shopping and enjoy drives out.
You will need to be a driver with access to a car, as some locations are hard to reach by public transport for our shift times.
The people you will be supporting also have their own vehicles, so you will need a UK licence and be willing to drive these.
How will I make a difference?
As a support worker you’ll be there to lend a helping hand in a way that puts the person’s needs first, this means:
- You will adapt your support to fit what each person needs and wants daily.
- You will encourage people to make their own choices, big and small.
- You will help people to do things themselves to be as independent as possible.
- You will support people to build confidence and life skills.
- You will support people to be a part of their community, joining local clubs and connecting with friends and family.
- You will be understanding, allowing people to take their time and do things at their own pace.
- You will celebrate people’s achievements, no matter how small they might seem to others.
If you're ready to make a positive impact and support others in achieving their goals, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
If you are offered a role with us, you will need to complete an enhanced DBS check. We will submit your application and pay for your check.
We reserve the right to close this advert early if sufficient applications are received.
We’re committed to being Disability Confident and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
