Are you honest, respectful, fun, compassionate, and kind?
If so, you might be the perfect fit for our team! We provide comprehensive training to equip you with the skills you need for this rewarding role.
About Us: We support adults with learning disabilities across Leicester, celebrating each individual's unique personality, interests, and passions. Our goal is to offer personalized support that aligns with their desires and needs.
Here are a few examples of the incredible individuals you could be working with:
* James volunteers at his local food bank because helping others is important to him. Do you share his passion for giving back?
* David is crafting a video about what makes a great support worker. He's writing, performing, and directing it all on his own. Could you be his creative buddy?
* Lucy is a talented horse rider who doesn't need riding lessons, but she could use a hand getting on her horse. Could you lend your support?
* Graham is making strides towards living more independently and is currently focused on improving his money management skills. Could you help guide him on this journey?
These examples highlight the diversity and fulfilment that come with being a support worker. We'd love to learn about the unique talents and skills you can bring to our team - cooking skills are always a plus!

About You:
Experience isn't always necessary. If you have the right attitude, good customer service skills, share our values, and are willing to learn, you're likely to be a great fit. We are looking for people who celebrate differences, and we strive to make all our staff feel included, valued, and respected.
As you have probably picked up, our support workers are out and about a lot, so you will need to be a driver. We have cars available, but your own vehicle would be a bonus. We will cover all your expenses.

But it doesn't stop there - throughout your career with us, you will have access to our own dedicated in-house Learning and Development team, Quality Specialists, and HR Teams. These teams, along with your Manager, will provide you with opportunities to learn and develop professionally as well as enabling and supporting you to achieve professional qualifications and career progression opportunities - all free of charge.
