Why not make this summer one to remember Start a new job and make people smile everyday

Our home in Taunton supports six wonderful people who enjoy getting the best out of life, and we're looking for friendly, caring and creative Support Workers to help us to achieve our goals.

We support people with a variety of disabilities including Autism, Down's Syndrome and Epilepsy to do the things they love the most. We love to spend time in the garden when the sun is shining and go on walks to our local super market to buy all our favourite foods.

The ladies in the home enjoy the finer things in life, by having relaxing pamper days and getting their nails painted, and we all get together to have a disco night on a Thursday where we have a sing along to music in the 80s / 90s. ABBA is a house favourite. On top of this, we enjoy reading books, colouring and watching musicals like the Sound of Music and Greece, plus Strictly Come Dancing is often on at the weekends.

In addition to the above, you'll enable independence by assisting with day-to-day tasks (this may include - but not be limited to - finances, cooking & personal care), but keeping care plans and communications book updated.

Support hours - These can vary week on week and rota are often completed 4-6 weeks in advance. These will be discussed at interview. (Often 7:30am - 2:30pm / 2:30pm - 1pm / alternate weekends and mid shifts)

- All training provided
- £11.03 per hour 'further pay award pending'

- Life Assurance and Company Pension
- Industry leading training
- Enhanced DBS paid for by us
- We offer a salary advance scheme where you can access up to 50% of the money you've earned before payday

We want the people we support to have fulfilling lives and we want our colleagues to have great careers with us. Before you know it you could be making a positive difference every day.

This role requires an enhanced DBS Disclosure, which will be obtained for you by Discovery.
