Male Support Worker - Leicester (LE2)

Are you looking for a new and rewarding career?

We are currently recruiting a part time support worker to join our supported living service in LE2.

At our location in Leicester, we support 6 adults aged 47-80 whom all live in their own homes (individual flats), all within the same building, due to not having a lot of shared spaces it would be ideal to have someone who is independent, adaptive and can work well under their own initiative. A detailed orientated person who can assist people follow structure would be an asset.

This role will mainly focus on supporting 2 gentleman, who enjoy going out and about into the community and doing activities such as going to garden centres and bowling. This shift is from 10am- 2pm Monday to Friday (20hours a week). The individuals supported have their own mobility vehicles so holding a full UK manual driving license is essential so they can get out and explore their local community.

Affinity Trust is a charity organisation supporting people with learning disabilities to live in their own home and be part of the community.

Because the people we support are at the heart of everything we do, we truly value our incredible staff & are committed to ensure they are fully supported.
