Being a support worker with learning disability charity Brandon Trust is a genuinely rewarding role. We offer plenty of training, ongoing support, a competitive salary, benefits and opportunities to develop your career.

You’ll support people with a learning disability, autism or both, at home and in the community to live life to the full. Care and support experience is not essential, we value the personal skills and interests you can bring to the role and lives of people we support.

About the role

Working in our friendly teams, you’ll enable the people you support to increase their independence and live life in the way they choose. You’ll provide person-centred support in all aspects of everyday life, including supporting with personal care and medication needs.

Building professional relationships with the people we support, you’ll enable them to enjoy a wide range of activities at home and in the community. There’s lots of variety, to find out more about the role visit our website.

If you’re new to social care, we’ll support you to gain the nationally recognised Care Certificate.

About you

You’re considerate, committed, resilient and respect people’s differences. Empathetic, you adapt your approach to individuals’ needs, have good communication skills and a positive, patient approach. You can build professional relationships and have a ‘can-do’ attitude. All support workers work flexible shifts to provide a 24/7 service to the people we support including evenings and weekends.

We provide a range of benefits, including a pension and shopping discounts.

You have the option of working additional hours (£10.02 - £10.24 p/h) or sleep-ins (£60 per extra sleep-in) in a range of services.

Successful applicants for this role will require an enhanced DBS check.
