Grace Eyre is one of the oldest and most innovative charities in the UK. We’re committed to supporting a range of people, including people with an acquired brain injury, physical disabilities, learning disability and autistic people.
Our mission is to provide good homes and pioneering support, connections and experiences led by Our Charter, where voice, choice, growth and happiness lead the way.
Introduction to the role:
We are looking for caring, compassionate and enthusiastic Support Workers to join Grace Eyre and work within our 24/7 supported living service, supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people to live fulfilling, independent and meaningful lives.
As a Support Worker, you will play an important role in providing person-centred support that is tailored to each individual’s needs, wishes and goals.
