Could you support two young men with learning disabilities to live gloriously ordinary and wonderfully meaningful lives? We re looking for thoughtful, compassionate people to join a small, friendly team in Flitwick, supporting two young men in their new home as they build happy, independent lives. Meet Alfie and Joe* * Alfie and Joe are both 18 and have recently moved into their home together. This is a big step for them full of excitement, nerves, and new experiences. They re settling in well, and now we re looking for a waking night support worker who can help them feel safe, supported, and truly at home. Alfie is full of energy and loves being on the go. Bowling nights and karaoke are big favourites already! He attends college during the week and heads home to family at weekends.

He enjoys routine, gentle encouragement, and is already showing his unique personality and preferences.

If you're someone who s passionate about people living the life they choose, we d love to hear from you.
