Were recruiting!
Join us as a Learning Disability Support Worker and create a future where learning-disabled people live the best life possible.
We know that life can be complicated for everybody. But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams. Many learning-disabled people wont be heard about the support theyd like. Some wont get to decide what they do for work. Or how to spend or save their money. Many won't get to try out the new hobbies theyd love to try.
But you can change all that.
Join our growing team in Stroud/Stonehouse and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.
Do you feel like our values - Kind, Diverse, Positive and Visionary - are a good match to your values? Then weve got lots in common already. Come on board and support learning disabled adults with those very values to develop skills, achieve their life goals and thrive in your community.
