Become a Support Worker.

What matters to the people we support matters to us. It’s their life, their way.

We are looking for a kind and fun-loving person to join our amazing team in Great Finborough, supporting 5 people who live independently. You will be working in people’s homes, so it’s important you can connect, share interests and be interested. The people we support love to get out and about using trains and buses and boat watching. As well as daily walks, exploring their wider community and socialising with their friends and family.

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.

You should be available to work a variety of shifts across the week including some long days, some weekends and sleep-in shifts as needed.

An essential part of this role is being a driver and having access to your own vehicle due to its rural location.

Affinity Trust does not presently hold a Sponsorship Licence and while this status is reviewed regularly there is no present proposal to apply for such a Licence.

Why Join Us?
What will we do?

We will train you in everything you need to be a great Support Worker. We will apply and pay for your enhanced DBS, and we have a mentorship scheme in place to provide support and guide you on your journey with us.

We provide a package of benefits that make it that bit easier to be your best and we can also support you to achieve a Level 2 diploma in Health and Social Care and pursue a career that takes on more responsibility.

We offer Wagestream – a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.

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

What will you do?

Supporting people is really important but it’s not all trips out and artwork. We also support people to take their medication, make healthy lifestyle choices or maintain their home in a way they are safe and well.

It sounds exciting to say no two days will be the same, but in support, sometimes they are. Sometimes people like routine and struggle with change… But when you support someone to try something new – what a feeling!

If you want to empower people to live the life they choose and you share our values… Apply to become a Support Worker today.
