Are you young at heart? Are you dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of others? We have the vacancy for you!

We are seeking compassionate Support Workers for a new service supporting young adults with learning and other disabilities in the Stratton St Margaret area of Swindon.

Your time will vary and you will be supporting people in multiple services. There are 2 services in close proximity to each other, one 5 bed service, and another 3 bed service.

It would be beneficial if you had a valid driving license and/or access to your own vehicle and business insurance, but this is not essential.

As a member of the team, you will be supporting day-to-day life including a variety of activities to provide essential care and assistance from shopping, going to the gym, swimming, cycling, cinema, travelling around the area and beyond.

A range of shifts including 1:1 support, earlies, lates, long days, evenings, weekends, bank holidays and sleep ins, as we provide support around the clock. If you have some restrictions, that is okay, we have a team of bank staff too, who come in and work with us when they have some free time.

As a support worker you will be supporting with day-to-day living, including a variety of activities, from shopping, personal care, medication support, help at mealtimes, some light household duties and making that all important night-time cuppa or supper before bedtime.

- Friendly
- Sociable and enjoy a range of activities
- Able to support someone to learn new things and develop independence
- Have a positive outlook
- Able to show that you share our values and are committed to supporting people to get the most out of their day

Experience is not necessarily required as we offer excellent levels of professional training to all our support workers, 1-2-1 on job coaching and learning, supported by additional educational qualifications if you require further development. You’ll be joining a great team of people, who are passionate, skilled, and enthusiastic, they will work with you to deliver an outstanding level of care and support.

At Milestones Trust we recognise that without the hard work, commitment and passion of our staff, we wouldn’t be the charity that we are today. In return, we are committed to rewarding you with a competitive pay and benefits package including:
- 30 days’ annual leave, including recognised public holidays
- Learning and development to support your career growth
- Nationally recognised qualifications, from entry‑level care to management

- Free enhanced DBS check
- Dayforce Wallet, giving you access to your earnings before payday
- Employee referral scheme with financial rewards
- Employee Assistance Programme from day one, offering confidential 24/7 support
- Company pension scheme to help grow your retirement savings
