This training includes classroom-based sessions, e-learning, and the chance to shadow experienced Support Practitioners and meet the people you’ll be supporting.

While a driving licence and access to your own car are preferable, they are not essential.

We support individuals with various needs, including physical or learning disabilities, ongoing mental health conditions, autism, and alcohol or substance use challenges. Some individuals may present behaviours that challenge or require high levels of personal care.

• TRFS rewards scheme (includes cashback and discounts at high street and online retailers)
• Paid travel during shifts and 45p per mile fuel allowance
• Continuous in-house training and career development opportunities
• Refer a Friend scheme - £150 reward

• Counselling & LifeWorks service

And most importantly, you’ll gain immense job satisfaction by making a positive difference in someone’s life.

If you're applying via a job board, please ensure you also submit an application through our website - otherwise, we won't be able to contact you.

All successful applicants will receive a conditional offer, subject to satisfactory references and a PVG check. Having a conviction will not necessarily prevent you from working in this sector.

All new staff must register with the SSSC within 3 months of their start date.

Schedule 9 Part 1 (1)(1)(a) of the Equality Act 2010 applies to this post.

Closing Date: 16th June 2025 (We reserve the right to close this vacancy early.)
