Portishead BS, United Kingdom Brandon Trust Full time £12,252 - £62,880 per year

Job Introduction

Support Worker

Location: Portishead

Salary: £12.21 – £ £60 per sleep-in shift

Hours: Flexible shifts on a 24/7 rota (planned in advance)

About the role

As a Support Worker at Brandon Trust, you'll be part of something meaningful—supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live life in the way that suits them best. Whether it's helping someone pursue a new hobby, build routines, plan a trip, attend their work, maintain their house or simply enjoy their day, you'll be working alongside them to make it happen.

You'll support with day-to-day activities like shopping, cooking, and managing health needs—always led by the person's own preferences and goals.

You'll also support with personal care. This means helping people with washing, dressing, and other essential personal routines. It's a vital part of enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence. Personal care is always delivered in a respectful and person-centred way, in line with each individual's needs and preferences.

No two days are the same, and every day brings the opportunity to be part of someone's progress and independence.

Why this role matters

You'll be joining people on their own journeys—whether that's growing in confidence, building friendships, or trying something new. You'll see the real impact of your support and share in the everyday moments that matter most.

This is work with purpose. You'll be part of a supportive team that values respect, individuality, and connection.

What we're looking for

  • A kind and thoughtful approach rooted in empathy and respect
  • A genuine interest in other people's lives, routines, and goals
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
  • A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
  • A commitment to inclusion and celebrating what makes each person unique
  • A full UK driving licence

No experience? That's okay.

Your values and behaviours matter more than your background. If you're someone who listens well, treats others with respect, and genuinely wants to support people to live their lives, we'll provide everything you need to succeed. With full training, ongoing support, and development opportunities, you'll be supported every step of the way.

About us

Brandon Trust is a charity supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to live life to the full. We work alongside people to help them make choices, be heard, and thrive in their communities.

We're committed to building a diverse team and an inclusive workplace. If you need any adjustments during the application or interview process, just let us know—we're here to support you too.
