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.
You’ll be joining our wonderful team, supporting individuals with learning disabilities as they move back into their newly refurbished supported living home in Northiam.
In this rewarding role, you’ll help people enjoy the activities they love—whether it’s dining out, shopping, dancing at the disco, taking long countryside walks, or spending quality time at home. You’ll also have the chance to support them in their newly adapted kitchen with baking and cooking, or simply relaxing together in the garden.
People may need support with areas of their personal care and well-being, support to take medication or help getting around and your role is to empower and connect, help them navigate life with confidence and independence.
You will need to be able to work shifts flexibly across the week, including some weekends and some sleep-in shifts.
Being a driver and willing to drive people's vehicles would be an advantage, but the ability to get to this location as early as 7am and finishing again at 10pm though is essential, as this home is hard to reach using public transport.
