At Avon Support we are currently recruiting Support Workers to join our growing team at our Day Hub in Warwick. As a support worker you will have fun each day engaging with the people we support; every day at our hub is fun packed, in the Day Hub and also in the community.

A little bit about us

At our Day Hub, no two days are the same. We have fun with the people we support who take part in cooking sessions, discos, parties, and we also have our own coffee bar where individuals can make drinks or learn barista skills! We take part in activities such as video games, interactive screens, I.T station, arts and crafts and much more! We also have a sensory room and a chill-out zone with a movie area for time out.

We also organise various trips out of the Hub with fun activities throughout the day, playing sports and visiting local attractions. We go to concerts, bowling nights, cinemas, social events, meals out and plenty more! All our trips and activities are discussed and decided by the individuals who use our service.
