We pay the Real Living Wage, provide excellent training and development, prioritise colleague wellbeing and are keen to attract people who can work independently, but who also enjoy being part of a team that can support each other to achieve great outcomes for the people who we support.

Permanent roles attract life assurance benefit and generous pension contributions.

The sessional opportunity is flexible work and colleagues can choose support sessions from those offered. Many sessional colleagues develop their skills and gain valuable experience before eventually becoming permanent (when vacancies arise). Sessional colleagues are not permanent employees. There is no guarantee of work and days/hours can vary depending on the needs of the charity.

Essential requirements we're looking for in our
Services Support Workers:

British Sign Language (BSL) is essential for this role, if you do not hold any signing skills - we will offer this training as part of the role.
