Are you the candidate they are looking for? At the organisation, they are recruiting for Enabling Support Workers.

Please note this role does not qualify for visa sponsorship, as the salary requirements set by the Home Office are not satisfied.

They are looking for people with the passion, talent, skills, and experience that all add up to a caring and community-minded workforce.

They believe that the people they support have the right to a full and flourishing life. They deserve the very best in delivery. Driven by their core values, the organisation strives to be Open, Enabling, Inclusive, and Courageous in all that they do.

They offer three independent living services, ranging from daytime to 24-hour, sleep-in care and support. Their Independent Living service is run by the disability charity that connects people with their communities.

Their Independent Living specialises in providing a flexible, client-driven approach to care, health, and inclusion requirements for people with a wide range of needs and living situations. Whether support is needed for an hour or two, or up to 24 hours a day, they help people to get the most out of life and their local community.
