Imagine a job where you can change someone's life by doing the things you take for granted?
As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you’ll play an important role each day by supporting people to take part in the activities and experiences they value, helping them to live with confidence and independence.

The people we support enjoy a variety of activities, such as attending local community groups, listening to music, gardening, and taking part in arts and crafts. You will play an important role in helping to create a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
What truly matters is your kindness, positivity, and desire to make a difference in someone’s day.
