We’re looking for patient, reliable and compassionate Female Support Workers to join our friendly team in Keynsham (BS31), supporting 10 adults aged 20s–60s with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy and some physical disabilities.

This is a busy, varied and sociable service, where you’ll provide a mix of 1:1 and shared (core) support, tailoring your approach to meet each individual’s unique needs.

They enjoy:

• Swimming and bowling
• Shopping trips and community outings
• Movies, superheroes and music
• Rearranging their rooms and making choices about their environment

• Flexible and adaptable to different individuals and routines
• Able to follow clear guidance and personalise support
• Friendly, engaging and enjoy social interaction
• Confident supporting people with communication needs

Experience is ideal, but not essential — full training will be provided.

Families are very involved in this service, so building positive, respectful relationships is an important part of the role.
