At Hesley Group, we put people first and recognise the hard work and dedication of all our colleagues. We’re committed to always being the best we can be, setting high standards and striving for excellence in everything we do.

You don’t need any experience – just the right values. As a Support Worker you would support adults with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs with their daily routines, supporting them to live life to their full potential and access experiences and activities. We are seeking candidates who want to be involved and support these activities. If you have a keen interest in one even better! This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to build a meaningful connection and support someone to live life to the fullest.

Your rota will be 4 days working, 2 days off - this includes 2 morning shifts (07:30 – 14:45/13:45) and 2 afternoon shifts (13:15 – 21:45) and includes weekend work.
