Support Worker

As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you will make a difference every day, supporting people with Learning disabilities to live their best lives, giving them confidence and choice. From spending time in their garden, to theatre trips, regular visits to church, pub meals, and days out. You will support people to use a variety of communication methods, as well as using technology aids such as iPads, so patience, creativity and a willingness to connect in different ways is essential. Your support means people can live more independently; in the way they choose. Ultimately, your support gives people the freedom to be themselves. Some 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 flexibly across the week, including some weekends and some sleep-in shifts too. 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.
