Could you help some amazing people to communicate, express themselves and connect with the world?

Due opening a new service, we currently have several great opportunities for passionate and dedicated individuals to join our team as Support Workers (Days and Waking Nights) in Hove. We have several shifts covering 37.5 hours per week!

As a Support Worker you will support and enable people to live the life they choose: to make choices, to express themselves and live as independently as possible. Your patient support and encouragement will assist individuals to run their own lives as much as possible - helping with personal care, supporting someone to rustle up some breakfast, do the weekly shop or visit a local café.

We also support people to take part in some our amazing arts and wellbeing activities - from dance to music making, swimming to going to concerts.

Being a Support Worker can be the springboard to your future career - and to all sorts of opportunities and management roles.

We also have casual (bank) opportunities in this area attracting an hourly rate of £8.30 per hour! 

As a Waking Night Support Worker you will work night shifts and handover to the team coming in on shift in the morning.
