How would you feel if you knew you would change lives and make a difference in someone's life experience?
As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you will make a difference every day, supporting people to live their best lives, giving them confidence and choice.
One day, it could be a trip to the supermarket, the next, supporting them in a new hobby. Your support means people can live more independently; in the way they choose. Ultimately, your support gives people the freedom to be themselves.
You will be supporting people in their homes within Lochgilphead. They enjoy listening to a variety of music, and engaging in activities such as going out shopping and watching films. Your role will involve taking the initiative to promote independence while building a meaningful connection with them. Your role will be to help with everyday tasks like cooking meals, shopping and keeping the house tidy.
We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs.
However, we know that what is essential is your kindness, energy, and willingness to make someone's day brighter.
