About Discovery
Discovery exists to help each person we support to live a fulfilling life, to be equal in society and to be active in his or her local community. That's a big deal. It means being able to have choice and control in life. It means choosing to go out or to stay in, making friends and having relationships, finding and developing skills and interests. It also means managing a home, voting, staying healthy and being able to pursue employment or volunteering opportunities. If you think you can help the people we support get more from life, we want to hear from you.
At Discovery, you'll find more than a job - You'll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated. Together, we make a real difference - for the people we support and for you.
Discovery is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2025 - now 5 years in a row!

About you
We are looking for someone who can be trusted to act with their own integrity and provide incredible and meaningful support, building a trusting and long lasting rapport with a gentleman in Penzance. This can be a challenging role at times, especially as it involves lone working, but if you want that challenge then this is offset with some truly inspirational moments where you can say 'I did that'.
If you're new to care then this is also a great chance to be a part of something from the ground up. As a new service in the Penzance area we are looking for fresh ideas, fresh talent and fresh passion. Someone that wants to be there and learn what making a real difference looks and feels like. You will be supported with great training and work alongside a team that wants to provide the very best care for the people we support. As well as that there is opportunity for progression and personal growth where you can learn and develop skills you never thought you had.
