We're recruiting!
Join us as a Learning Disability Support Worker and help build a future where learning-disabled people live the best life possible.
We know that life can be complicated for everybody.
But some of us are stopped from working towards our dreams.
Many learning-disabled people won't be heard about the support they'd like.
Some won't get to decide what they do for work.
Or how to spend or save their money.
Many won't get to try out the new hobbies they'd love to try.
But you can change all that.
Join our growing team in Biggleswade, and get all the training you need to become a confident Support Worker.
About our Transition service
This service focuses on supporting young adults with learning disabilities between the ages of 16-25 looking to move from their parental home into supported living.
Our support workers ensure all the people we support gain the skills and knowledge to live as independently as possible and support them throughout this transition.
The service provides 3 stages of transition from supporting people within their current home, to moving in to our Hft service and the final phase of moving out into a supported living service.
You will be welcomed in to the team and coached along the way and will also receive outstanding training for your role.
