Our ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) service in Gloucester 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, socializing, and engaging in various activities. One day you could be out with the people we support in local restaurants and attending appointments, the next you could be unwinding with them while watching films or going to the cinema.

This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to truly 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 hold a full UK driving license, be resilient, flexible, and composed in their approach, have experience with following Positive Behaviour Support plans, reflective practice, and experience working with individuals with autism, acquired brain injury, complex mental health needs, traumatic backgrounds, and challenging behaviors.
