Where You’ll Be Working
This application is for roles based at either Langport or Sherborne—whichever location suits you best. You’ll be based at one service only, so no hopping between sites.
You’ll be supporting individuals with a range of needs, including limited communication. Some use boards to express themselves, and you’ll be part of a team that helps them live independently, safely, and happily.

Every day is different, and every moment counts. You’ll be helping with:
Personal care and daily routines
Cooking, cleaning, and household tasks
Medication and financial support
Emotional wellbeing and companionship
Community outings, hobbies, and discovering new activities
Whether it’s helping someone prepare a meal, supporting them on a trip into town, or simply being a calm and caring presence, you’ll be making a real impact.
Who We’re Looking For
You might already be a Care Assistant, Support Worker, or Healthcare Assistant. Or maybe you’re new to care but full of compassion and ready to learn. Either way, we’ll give you the tools and support to succeed.
You’ll thrive here if you are:
Caring, confident, and reliable
A great communicator and team player
Calm under pressure and ready to adapt
Passionate about helping others live independently
A licensed driver, ready to support service users in the community
Ready to Start Something Meaningful?
If you’re looking for a career that’s full of heart, purpose, and opportunity, Lifeways Langport or Sherborne is ready to welcome you. Apply today and help someone live life their way—with confidence, support, and a whole lot of care.
