So, what does a Support Worker do?

We have a vision to create a world where amazing people do amazing things every day. Our skilled and experienced teams work with every person we support to create personalised, outcome-focused plans to achieve their aspirations.

Our Support Workers work in a variety of settings including community-based services (often supporting people in their own homes) to our Independent Hospitals or Adult Care Homes.

One thing that is common across all of our services is a focus on personalised support and tailoring our services to the needs and aspirations of the people we support with a diverse range of care needs (including Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities, Mental Health Concerns, Complex Care, Substance Misuse issues to name a few).

We value the people that work with us…

At AFG we recognise the contribution and value that our staff make. We would not be able to provide the life-changing support that we do without people like you! In return for your contribution, we will support you throughout your career and we provide a wide range of employee benefits, career development (including opportunities to undertake vocational qualifications), and lifestyle support services to ensure that you too feel supported, fulfilled, and valued from day one of your employment with us.
