Support Worker
“I love what I do, and I have great fun supporting people to get more from life. Everyone I work with is an individual and what I love most is that, even if someone is unable to tell you what they want; there are plenty of other methods of communication. You can still get to know them and what they like. I just can’t put it into words how amazing this job is. I should have done it years ago” - Being a Support Worker with Discovery is more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to change your life as well as enable others!
