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.
Who will I support?
Working with people with Learning Disabilities involves appreciating their own personal journeys. Each day is an opportunity to engage in activities, whether it’s enjoying a walk in the park, visiting a favourite café, or pursuing personal interests. Your role is to inspire, support and promote independence while building a connection with them.
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.
