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 our 6 gentlemen in their homes in Dunstable. They are a very active group with varied interests, so you will need to bring lots of energy to this role. Some of the activities you can enjoy with our gentlemen are playing on computers, getting involved in some gardening, visits to the zoo, the cinema and the gym. They also like to sit, relax and people watch with a cup of tea and some cake. Your role will involve taking the initiative to promote independence while building a meaningful connection with them.
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.

* Work with a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team
