Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way. 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'll help build confidence, encourage independence, and create meaningful connections. Supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental ill-health, physical disabilities, and other complex needs means truly getting to know them, their stories, interests, and what matters most. One day you might be heading to the park, the next enjoying a favourite café or hobby. Your role is to motivate, encourage independence, and build genuine, trusting relationships every step of the way.

That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step.
