Looking for a job that feels good? Become a Support Worker with Avenues – Tunbridge Wells.

Full‑time roles available. Salary £24,829 per year (pro‑rate). Drivers must have a full UK driving licence.

Our shifts are from 7.30 am to 10.00 pm, Monday to Sunday, including long days.

If you’re ready for a career where you can make a real difference, meet amazing people, and go home knowing you’ve helped someone live life their way — we’d love to hear from you!

At Avenues, people smile, laugh, grow, and achieve together. We believe happy, well‑supported staff help people live their best lives — and that’s what we’re all about.

We are looking for Support Workers to work with us in Tunbridge Wells, supporting adults with a range of physical, mental, and behavioural support needs on both levels of this supported living service. Ideally you will have experience with supporting adults with autism and behaviours of concern, but we are here to support you and provide resources to learn.

The people we support are energetic and can participate in lots of community activities such as walking, going to parks, swimming, bowling, visiting cafés, restaurants and shops, so it is essential for you to hold a full UK driving licence and be happy to drive our cars.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, or physical disabilities to live independently
• Helping people with everyday tasks like shopping, cooking, or managing money
• Encouraging people to connect with friends, family, and the community
• Providing personal care (with dignity and respect)
• Making each day meaningful — and having fun while you do it!

We have a variety of services across location, from supported living homes to self‑contained flats and outreach work. We’ll chat with you to find the best fit.

New to care? Don’t worry! We’ll give you all the training you need — including free, nationally recognised qualifications to help your career grow.

What You’ll Get

• Early pay – access your wages before payday
• Paid enhanced DBS (so no cost to you)
• Flexible working to suit your lifestyle
• Paid annual leave (pro‑rate)
• Award‑winning training to boost your skills
• Pension scheme and life assurance
• Discounts on shopping, holidays, and more (Blue Light Card & Bene£its site)
• Recommend a Friend bonus — up to £500
• 24/7 wellbeing support and counselling

We believe everyone deserves the chance to shine. If you have a disability and meet the basic job criteria, we’ll guarantee you an interview under the Disability Confident Scheme.
