Job description

For most of us, making a sandwich is a task we don’t put much thought into— gather the ingredients, put them together, and enjoy! But for some people, making a sandwich is about so much more than just food.

It’s the opportunity to embrace independence.

It’s the joy of discovering new skills.

It’s the freedom to make personal choices.

It’s amazing how something like preparing a sandwich can boost confidence and help the people we support to embrace life on their own terms. Our support workers guide them to navigate daily challenges and turn these moments into opportunities for empowerment and personal growth. Every sandwich made is a victory, proving that even the smallest tasks can lead to greater independence.

We believe in support that makes a meaningful difference, because what we do matters.

Working with people with Learning Disabilities involves appreciating their own personal journeys. Each day is an opportunity to engage in activities, whether it’s enjoying a walk in the park, visiting a favourite café, or pursuing personal interests. Your role is to inspire, support and promote independence while building a connection with them.
