Job description

As a valued Support Worker with Thera Trust, you will be part of an inclusive team supporting adults with a learning disability. You will help create innovative ways to support individuals to achieve their own personal goals, aims and ambitions. The support you provide will change with everyone you work with because everyone is different.

Supporting people in their daily lives is varied and could include helping someone develop new skills, providing personal and emotional support, helping people plan and manage their own home, support with leisure, employment, individual interests and travel. This can be a fun and rewarding but also at times challenging and demanding role.

You may be supporting people in their own home or out and about in their community.

Thera Trust is unique; we are led by people with a learning disability.

Our vision is to promote that people with a learning disability can be leaders in society.

Using a person-centred approach, you will empower people with a learning disability to live the lives they choose.

If you have a caring nature and flexibility, and are comfortable providing essential personal care-including supporting residents who are wheelchair users-this vital role is for you. Full, nationally accredited training is provided free of charge.
