What you'll be doing:

In this rewarding female Support Worker role based in Swansea, you'll be part of a vibrant team supporting individuals across 14 supported living services, all tailored to meet the needs of people with learning disabilities. A key part of the role involves encouraging community access and helping people engage with local opportunities that enrich their lives.

One of the people we support is especially proud to volunteer at the hub, using her creativity to design the posters that promote upcoming events.





Each day in this role might bring something different -- you might be supporting someone to manage their money, maintain their home, or access essential appointments, while also helping them build confidence and independence through meaningful routines and active lifestyles. For example, one of the people we support finds that physical activity, such as running and movement-based exercise, really helps her manage challenging behaviour in a positive and empowering way. This is a hands-on role and may include personal care, so it's important you feel confident providing this support when needed. Due to the needs of the people we support and the requirement to travel between services and out into the commu-nity, being a driver with access to your own vehicle is essential. If you're compassionate, reliable, and passionate about helping people live more independently and meaningfully, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine and lasting difference every day.
