How would you feel if you knew you would change lives and make a difference in someone's life experience? As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you will make a difference every day, supporting people to live their best lives, giving them confidence and choice. One day, it could be a trip to the supermarket, the next, supporting them in a new hobby. Your support means people can live more independently; in the way they choose. Ultimately, your support gives people the freedom to be themselves.
You’ll be supporting five young and energetic gentlemen who share a home in Norwich, each with their own unique passions and personalities. Their days are full of activity; trampolining, swimming, music, dancing, walks in local parks, and even watching planes at the airport café - so bring plenty of energy (and your trainers!). Their enthusiasm for life is infectious, and your role will be about celebrating who they are, building their confidence, and supporting independence through both meaningful moments and everyday routines.
To thrive in this role, you’ll need to be outgoing, adaptable, and quick-thinking. Flexibility is important, with shifts including earlies, lates, sleep-ins, and occasional waking nights. We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs. However, we know that what is essential is your kindness, energy, and willingness to make someone's day brighter.
How you'll make a difference:
- Support people to enjoy their daily routines and achieve their goals
- Build trust, connection, and independence
- Work with a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team
- Buy & sell annual leave
- Access pay as you earn via Stream
- Fully funded health plan via SimplyHealth (GP, dental, optical)
- Pension & Life Assurance
An enhanced DBS check is required (paid for by us). We're committed to being Disability Confident, and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
