We’re on the hunt for genuinely caring, hands-on Support Workers with a passion for enhancing the quality of life of the people we support.

Our residential service in Crawley is a welcoming and friendly environment, and you can be sure that no two days will be the same! You’ll be enhancing the lives of the people we support by teaching them new life skills, assisting with personal care, encouraging them to access their local communities, socialising, and doing lots of activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in local bars and pubs; the next, you could be unwinding with them playing video games, watching films, or going to the cinema.

This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference in someone's life and help them grow in confidence and independence so that they meet their goals, whether this be making dinner by themselves or going on holiday.

We’re interested in our Support Workers having both the right experience and the right values. This is why at this service, our Support Workers should be resilient, flexible, and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans and reflective practice, as well as experience working with individuals with autism, acquired brain injury, complex individuals with mental health needs, traumatic backgrounds, and challenging behaviours.
