Introduction

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in joining the Glastonbury Abbey team. Glastonbury
Abbey holds a unique place in English history and cultural identity. Its fame was
built upon its rich tradition of legends, linking Glastonbury with the biblical figure of
Joseph of Arimathea, and chivalric figures such as King Arthur and Queen
Guinevere. Glastonbury’s reputation as the earliest Christian church in western
Europe attracted spiritual pilgrims, royal patrons and tremendous wealth.

Glastonbury Abbey is located in the heart of Glastonbury, Somerset, a diverse and
vibrant town renowned throughout the world as a place of pilgrimage. The abbey is
governed by a board of trustees and is led by a director and senior leadership team
that deliver the strategic objectives in line with its charitable objects. It welcomes
visitors from all over the world while also maintaining strong links with its local
community via a membership scheme and a programme of special events.

Glastonbury Abbey offers visitors a heritage site with nationally significant
archaeological ruins, a 14th century medieval kitchen, 36 acres of beautiful grounds
as well as a museum, cafés and a shop. It is a site of pilgrimage for people of all
faiths and backgrounds and hosts more than 170,000 visitors per year attracted by
reasons as diverse as spirituality, myth, legend, exercise, reflection, history and the
environment.

This is an exciting period in the life of the abbey. The Abbey Yard development,
providing new visitor welcome spaces, gift shop and café, was completed in
2025, and we welcomed 179,000 visitors that year. Future plans include, among
other things, improved heritage interpretation and an ambitious programme of
conservation.

Glastonbury Abbey is a historical monument, spiritual centre, and visitor attraction.
If this role and the opportunity of working at such a location appeals to you we
willbe very happy to hear from you.

Janet Bell, MBE
Director, Glastonbury Abbey

Job Introduction

Female Support Worker
Location: Adderbury
Salary: £12.21 - £12.37 Per Hour + £60 per sleep-in shift
Hours: Flexible shifts on a 24/7 rota (planned in advance) 

About the role

 
As a Support Worker at Brandon Trust, you’ll be part of something meaningful—supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live life in the way that suits them best. Whether it’s helping someone pursue a new hobby, build routines, plan a trip, attend their work, maintain their house or simply enjoy their day, you’ll be working alongside them to make it happen. 

You’ll support with day-to-day activities like shopping, cooking, and managing health needs—always led by the person’s own preferences and goals.

You’ll also support with personal care. This means helping people with washing, dressing, and other essential personal routines. It’s a vital part of enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence. Personal care is always delivered in a respectful and person-centred way, in line with each individual's needs and preferences.

No two days are the same, and every day brings the opportunity to be part of someone’s progress and independence.

Why this role matters

 
You’ll be joining people on their own journeys—whether that’s growing in confidence, building friendships, or trying something new. You’ll see the real impact of your support and share in the everyday moments that matter most. 

This is work with purpose. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values respect, individuality, and connection.

What we’re looking for
