About the role


As a Support Assistant you will help older people to live independently in the community, actively networking with other agencies to support a person-centred approach and service.

You will join a dedicated team, providing a range of housing-related support services, including:

  • Helping residents to live independently and visiting them to assess and meet their support needs
  • Promoting social activities on the estate and in the wider community
  • Working closely with the statutory and voluntary sectors to provide a seamless service and liaise with residents' relatives

About you
As Support Assistant you will need to have a caring, supportive nature and be a superb communicator.

You will be highly organised and comfortable planning your own work and be familiar with the needs of older people.

Previous experience in a similar role would be an advantage but is not essential.


We need people who share our values, people who are friendly, customer focused, calm and have the ability to work with a wide range of people.

Being computer literate is also essential.

Our housing leasehold and rented schemes are about providing older people with independence and security within a happy community.

Residents look to us to provide them with a safe, well-maintained home and take the stress out of everyday life.


Anchor - a great place to work
Anchor is England's largest not-for-profit providers of care and housing for older people.

Our heartfelt ambition is to transform housing and care so everyone can have a home where they love living in later life.


We're not-for-profit which means every penny we make or save is invested in the people who live with us, the places they live and the people who work here.

That means a better standard of care and customer service, better wages, more investment in training and development and improved facilities.
