Imagine a job where you can change someone's life by doing the things you take for granted? As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you’ll play an important role each day by supporting people to take part in the activities and experiences they value, helping them to live with confidence and independence. It might be something simple like taking a walk to the shops to get a pint of milk; or something bigger like supporting someone to visit the gym for the first time, start a new hobby, or even take a trip abroad. We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs. What truly matters is your kindness, positivity, and desire to make a difference in someone’s day.

Making a difference for those we support includes;

• Allowing people to fulfil and enjoy their daily routines and achieve their goals
• Building trust, connection, and independence
• Developing yourself alongside a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team of colleagues

What benefits will I have? We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:

• Stream – an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
• Simply Health - Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians, and access to many more health benefits.
• Blue light card – we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants
• Pension and Life Assurance - you’ll be enrolled into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme.

If you are offered a role with us, you will need to complete an enhanced DBS check. We will submit your application and pay for your check.

We’re committed to being Disability Confident and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
