Are you looking for a role where you can make a real difference - and be part of something truly meaningful?
We're looking for caring, fun, and positive individuals to join our team in Shrewsbury. Whether you're seeking part-time or full-time hours, we'll work with you to find a pattern that fits your life. You'll be supporting adults with learning disabilities across a variety of settings - from independent living to shared homes - helping them live life their way.
What Will You Be Doing?
No two days are the same, but you might find yourself:
- Supporting people to enjoy their favourite activities - from shopping, swimming, and cinema trips to bowling, dancing, and football matches
- Helping with daily routines like cooking, cleaning, gardening, and budgeting
- Encouraging healthy choices and independence
- Providing emotional support, companionship, and a listening ear
- Supporting with medication and occasional personal care prompts
- Building strong relationships and helping people stay connected with family and friends
Who Will You Be Supporting?
You'll be working with individuals aged 25-60, each with their own unique personality, interests, and routines. Some are outgoing and adventurous, while others enjoy quieter moments and creative hobbies. What they all have in common is a desire to live life to the fullest - and they need someone like you to help make that happen.
What Makes This Role Special?
You won't just be supporting people - you'll be championing independence, celebrating individuality, and creating meaningful moments. The impact you make will last long after your shift ends.
What We're Looking For
Experience isn't always necessary. If you have:
- A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
- Great communication skills and a sense of humour
- A values-driven approach to care
- The ability to work flexibly and as part of a team
- A full UK driving licence (manual or automatic)
…then you're likely to be a great fit.
