Imagine a job where you can change someone's life by doing the things many of us take for granted.

As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you'll make a real difference every day by helping people take part in the activities and experiences that matter most to them, supporting them to live with confidence, independence, and choice.

That could be something as simple as a trip to the local shops, meeting friends for lunch, or enjoying a favourite hobby. It could also mean supporting someone to achieve a personal goal, try something new, or enjoy a memorable day out.

You'll be supporting ladies and gentlemen across two locations in Staplehurst, helping each person to live the life they choose. The people we support enjoy a variety of activities, including drives out, visiting family and friends, cinema trips, shopping, bowling, and pub lunches. You'll play a key role in helping people stay connected to their communities, maintain meaningful relationships, and enjoy the activities they love.

No previous experience is required. We provide full training and ongoing support, giving you the skills and confidence to support people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs. What matters most is your kindness, positive attitude, and genuine desire to make a difference.


Making a difference for those we support includes:

  • Supporting people to enjoy their daily routines and achieve their personal goals
  • Building positive relationships that promote trust, confidence, and independence
  • Encouraging people to take part in activities, pursue their interests, and stay connected to their local community
  • Developing your own skills and career alongside a supportive, dedicated, and compassionate team

  • Fully funded health plan through Simply Health (including GP, dental and optical cover)
  • Blue Light Card reimbursement
  • Pension scheme and Life Assurance
