Make a Real Difference Every Weekend

Looking for a rewarding role where no two days are the same?

Join our dedicated supported living team in Yeovil and help adults with learning disabilities and autism live independent, fulfilling, and meaningful lives in their own homes and communities.

This is more than just a care role — it’s about building confidence, encouraging independence, creating opportunities, and being part of the moments that genuinely matter.

From supporting someone to achieve their daily goals, to helping them access the community, attend activities, or simply enjoy their home life, your support will have a direct and positive impact every single day.

What the Role Involves

Working across three small supported living homes, you’ll provide person-centred support tailored to each individual’s needs and choices.

Your role may include:

• Supporting with personal care and daily routines
• Helping with cooking, shopping, and maintaining a safe home environment
• Administering or supporting with medication
• Transporting individuals to day centres, appointments, and community activities
• Encouraging independence, social inclusion, and confidence
• Supporting people to enjoy hobbies, activities, and meaningful experiences
• Maintaining accurate records and following care plans

Most of the people we support attend day placements, meaning your focus will mainly be on morning and evening support routines.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in supporting people with learning disabilities and/or autism
• Caring, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping others
• Reliable, flexible, and able to work independently
• A confident driver with a full UK driving licence
• Positive, proactive, and committed to high-quality support
• Comfortable working across multiple services

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who treats people with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Why Join Us?

• Supportive and welcoming team environment
• Opportunity for additional overtime shifts during the week
• A genuinely rewarding role where your work matters
