Part Time Community Support Worker in Darlington
About KeyRing
Beyond traditional adult social care, we build support around what people can do then challenge and inspire them to do even more. KeyRing recognises that life should be built around connections, friendships and doing things you love. Life should never ever be built around a support provider.
Our support and career options are flexible. We'd love to talk about how your career at KeyRing fits around what is important to you.
About you
Our vision is for a welcoming world that celebrates the skills and talents of everybody. We are more interested in your values than your experience. Our recruitment process is designed to find people that will love what they do. Some of these people have worked in social care for many years but others come from a variety of unrelated backgrounds.

We want you to feel at home, be yourself and share your unique skills and talents. We seek a diverse and inclusive community that mirrors the diversity of the people we support and the areas we work in.
To support this we are an equal opportunities employer and are disability confident committed.
