Make a difference by supporting people to live their life, their way

Supporting people to live great lives

At Affinity Trust, we empower people to lead meaningful lives on their own terms. As a Support Worker, you'll help build confidence, encourage independence, and create meaningful connections.

Supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental ill-health, physical disabilities, and other complex needs means truly getting to know them, their stories, interests, and what matters most. One day you might be heading to the park, the next enjoying a favourite café or hobby. Your role is to motivate, encourage independence, and build genuine, trusting relationships every step of the way.

We can teach you everything you need to know about supporting people well. What we can’t teach you, is the stuff that comes from within:

✨ That buzz you get when you celebrate someone’s wins – big or small.

✨ That natural sense of wanting to make someone’s day brighter.

✨ That understanding that climbing a mountain starts with a single step.

In essence, that’s what we are looking for from you.

What does it mean to be a support worker?

Think about your daily routine and what matters to you. If you needed support to keep your day the way you like it, what would be important to you?

In this role, you will:

• Take time to understand what a great day means to the person you support.
• Adjust your approach to meet people’s needs and build on both their strengths and your own.
• Help build a supportive environment that encourages everyone to thrive and gives them the freedom to live their life their way.

People are at the heart of everything we do and as a support worker you will embody our core values by:

Working together

• Respecting the strengths and differences of the people you work with
• Communicating openly and building trust.
• Helping each other to provide the best support possible.

Giving our best

• Being dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives.
• Whether the day was easy or tough, taking responsibility for your actions and focusing on what matters most to those who you support.

Having courage

• Being open to new ideas and approaches.
• Using creativity and flexibility to try different ways of helping others.
• Providing the most effective and adaptable support possible.

What benefits will I have?

We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:

• Buy and sell annual leave– transfer windows open twice a year.
• Stream– an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
• Simply Health- Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians, and access to many more health benefits.
