Support Worker – Get Out There (GOT) Group | Wythenshawe & Greater Manchester

Are you looking for a rewarding role that makes a real difference to children and young people? Join our Get Out There (GOT) Group; a community service that helps children and young people across Manchester and Trafford get out, explore, and thrive. No experience needed. Just enthusiasm, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a difference. From 4 hours per week offering £13.00 per hour. Primarily Saturdays, with occasional Sundays and evenings.

What you'll be doing

Think bowling, cinema, football, dance, parks, and more. You'll be supporting young people at our Saturday Club in Wythenshawe and out in the community across Manchester and Trafford; helping them build independence, develop communication skills, and take part in life. You'll also provide vital respite for their families. Every person we support is unique, so no two shifts will ever look the same.

What we're looking for

You don't need care experience, we'll give you full training. You do need to be:

• Warm, patient, and genuinely people-focused
• Positive and adaptable; ready for whatever the day brings
• A driving licence and access to your own vehicle is desirable
• Knowledge of multi-sensory impairments or BSL is a bonus, but not essential
