Sounds simple right.....?
For most of us, making a sandwich is a task we don’t put much thought into— gather the ingredients, put them together, and enjoy! But for some people, making a sandwich is about so much more than just food.
✨ It’s the opportunity to embrace independence.
✨ It’s the joy of discovering new skills.
✨ It’s the freedom to make personal choices.
It’s amazing how something like preparing a sandwich can boost confidence and help the people we support to embrace life on their own terms. Our support workers guide them to navigate daily challenges and turn these moments into opportunities for empowerment and personal growth. Every sandwich made is a victory, proving that even the smallest tasks can lead to greater independence.
We believe in support that makes a meaningful difference, because what we do matters.

Who will I support?
We are looking for a fun-loving person to join our brilliant team supporting 3 people who live in their own home in Sheffield (S6).
You will be working in their home, so it’s important you can connect and share interests. This is a hands-on role, the people we support love to get out into the community and love sports, especially snooker.
We are looking for flexible and open-minded people to join our team. If you are energetic and love trying new activities and are passionate about helping people to access their community, then we want to hear from you.
Being a driver is preferred, but not essential. However, you must be able to reliably commute to S6 for shift start times. You should be available to work part time shifts across the week and alternate weekends, including sleep-in shifts as needed.
So, if you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.
What benefits will I have?
We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:
- Wagestream – an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
- Blue light card – we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants.
- Simply Health - Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits.
- Vivup – spread the cost of home and electronics items, or a bike to cycle to work through fixed salary reductions throughout the year.
- Buy and sell annual leave – transfer windows open twice a year.
- Pension and Life Assurance - you’ll be enrolled into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme.
