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?

Supporting people with learning disabilities is all about recognising and valuing their individual stories. Each day is an opportunity to share enjoyable experiences—whether that’s a stroll in the park, a trip to a favourite café, or taking part in hobbies that matter to them. In this role, you’ll be working with four gentlemen who live in their own flats in Leicester and love being active in the community, often using their mobility vehicles. For this reason, having a Full UK Manual Licence would be a real advantage.

You’ll play an important part in encouraging independence and building genuine, positive relationships. Flexibility is key, as shifts include mornings, afternoons, evenings, and alternate weekends.

"Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010".

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.
