Support Worker in Glastonbury

Overview

You don\’t need to have prior experience working within a Social Care role we just ask that you have the right values!

Discovery, exists to help each person we support to live a fulfilling life, to be equal in society and to be active in his or her local community. That\’s a big deal. It means being able to have choice and control in life. It means choosing to go out or to stay in, making friends and having relationships, finding and developing skills and interests. It also means managing a home, voting, staying healthy and being able to pursue employment or volunteering opportunities. If you think you can help the people we support get more from life, we want to hear from you.

At Discovery, you\\\’ll find more than a job – You\\\’ll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated. Together, we make a real difference – for the people we support and for you.

Location & Team

Discovery is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2025 – now 5 years in a row!, Jasmine is just off the main highstreet, a 10 minute walk from morrisons, a 2 minute walk from the tour and much more in between. We are located in the heart of Glastonbury, supporting 6 individuals with a learning disability and physical disabilities. We are looking for dedicated team who will support people to go out, trips to the theatre, cinema, local clubs, bowling, meeting friends, local places of interest and to be offered new opportunities! But also a team that are able to support the people in their home with as high level of independence as possible, the people at Jasmine need support with every aspect of their daily routine from getting up, making breakfast and planning their days. We never say \\\”it can\’t be done\\\” but ask \\\”how can it be done\\\”.
