Apple mews is one of Priory Adult cares specialist services, it is a modern, purpose built site; split into several bungalows with 5/6 residents in each bungalow. In total the site is home to 30 service users living with learning disabilities, autism and mental health conditions. Each support worker is assigned to one bungalow, encouraging relationship building between staff and service users.
1. Do you believe that everyone is entitled to the very best care and support?
2. Do you want to make a lasting difference in people’s lives?
3. Do you want to support people to help them achieve their goals, dreams and aspirations?
We do and we are passionate about providing excellent care and support to individuals with learning disabilities, autism, Prader-Willi Syndrome or mental health conditions. As a support worker, you will have the opportunity to be part of 1000s of stories of inspiring care and support for our residents and service users.
As a support worker you will be supporting our residents with their day to day lives, encouraging them to live as independently as possible. You may get involved in exciting activities outside of the home too – our residents/service users participate in day trips, charity events and much more!
Our ideal support worker will:

5. Be able to support in house activities and hobbies
6. Be attentive and inspire our service users to achieve more!

9. Brilliant, ongoing training to help you achieve more
10. Support of an experienced and friendly team of colleagues
