How would you feel if you knew you would change lives and make a difference in someone's life experience?
As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you will make a difference every day, supporting people to live their best lives, giving them confidence and choice.
One day, it could be a trip to the supermarket, the next, supporting them in a new hobby. Your support means people can live more independently; in the way they choose. Ultimately, your support gives people the freedom to be themselves.
You will be supporting a gentleman with cerebral palsy who lives in his own home in Inverurie. He can sometimes display behaviours that challenge, so we are looking for someone confident, patient, and resilient. Experience supporting individuals with physical disabilities, complex needs, or challenging behaviours would be valuable.
This gentleman is a wheelchair user but is very active and enjoys getting out into the community, so you’ll play a key role in helping him access his regular activities and encouraging him to explore new interests. We’re looking for someone energetic and motivating, who can provide consistent support and help him stay engaged with the hobbies and routines that matter most to him.
We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs.
However, we know that what is essential is your kindness, energy, and willingness to make someone's day brighter.
How you'll make a difference
- Support people to enjoy their daily routines and achieve their goals
- Build trust, connection, and independence
- Work with a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team
