What matters to the people we support matters to us. It’s their life, their way.
You will be working in people’s homes, so it’s important you can connect, share interests and be interested and we are looking for support workers to join our teams in Abingdon supporting people with learning disabilities who enjoy everything from Baking, Music, dancing, sensory based activities and aromatherapy. They also enjoy being active and healthy, gardening and going for drives out.

We have full time opportunities working shifts across the week and some weekends, including sleep in shifts.
Affinity Trust does not presently hold a Sponsorship Licence and while this status is reviewed regularly there is no present proposal to apply for such a Licence
Why Join Us?
What will we do?

What will you do?
Supporting people is really important but it’s not all trips out and watching TV. We also support people to make healthy lifestyle choices and maintain their home in a way they feel safe, well and happy.
It sounds exciting to say no two days will be the same, but in support, sometimes they are. Sometimes people like routine and struggle with change… But when you support someone to try something new – what a feeling!
