Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference in people's lives, every single day? Do you want to be part of a team, supporting a group of individuals to live independently and enjoy all the things they love? If so, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
We are currently recruiting for Part-Time Support Workers to join our team in Haverhill, where no two days are ever the same! In this person-centred role, you will provide support to a group of adults aged between 30 and 80.

Your role will involve providing 1:1 support and, at times, 2:1 support when supporting people to be present in the community.

- Assisting with a range of personal care, from prompting to full support, depending on the person’s needs.
