People-person? Love making someone’s day? You already have what it takes to start a rewarding career in care — where your natural skills really make a difference.
At Avenues, we believe supported people support others well. We create communities where people smile, laugh, grow, and achieve amazing things — and you could be part of that!
We are looking for Support Workers, working in a team of 9 in Bury St Edmunds. You will be supporting 4 male adults with disabilities from acquired brain injuries in a supported living environment. All of the individuals are also wheelchair users.
Why Social Care? Why now?
If you’re looking for:
* More meaningful work

We’ve got you covered — and we’ll provide all the training you need, completely free.
