It means being able to have choice and control in life. It means choosing to go out or to stay in, making friends and having relationships, finding and developing skills and interests. It also means managing a home, voting, staying healthy and being able to pursue employment or volunteering opportunities.

We are very supportive at Newholme not just of the people who live here, but also of the team who work here. When you start you will receive a lot of mentoring and you will have regular one to ones with your manager to make sure you are settling in well, and this will continue to make sure that you are happy in your new role.

We're all here to make a positive difference to people with learning disabilities and/or autism in Somerset. Here at Discovery we are looking for dedicated individuals to join our Support Worker team in Taunton to cover shifts on the Weekend. Discovery exists to help each person we support to live a fulfilling life, to be equal in society and to be active in his or her local community. That's a big deal. It means being able to have choice and control in life. It means choosing to go out or to stay in, making friends and having relationships, finding and developing skills and interests. It also means managing a home, voting, staying healthy and being able to pursue employment or volunteering opportunities. If you think you can help the people we support get more from life, we want to hear from you. About the role: We are currently recruiting for support workers to join our team at Newholme in Ruishton near Taunton on a part time contract, working only on the weekends. This is a great opportunity to take on a role as Support Worker that will fit around any commitments you might have in the week. As a support worker in our team you will be working with the people we support to go about their daily lives. You'll help those we support get washed and dressed, eat and drink anything else that they may need your support with. You'll also help the people we support keep in touch with family and friends, pursue their hobbies and go out for fun days out, such as to the beach or on walks into the surrounding countryside. Newholme is home to a diverse group of 8 adults with a range of learning and physical disabilities. We are undergoing an exciting transformation into a new way of supporting the people who live here and so we are looking for people to join our team of support workers who share our values and want to enable the people we support to have a great life. Newholme is set in a quiet, rural neighbourhood, with a large outdoor area with space for seating, activities and some gardening. Inside the building, each person we support has their own room which has been decorated to reflect their own personal interests and hobbies, from trains to tropical Costa Rica's forest to African snakes! We are very supportive at Newholme not just of the people who live here, but also of the team who work here. When you start you will receive a lot of mentoring and you will have regular one to ones with your manager to make sure you are settling in well, and this will continue to make sure that you are happy in your new role. Why join us? Full-time or part-time contracts available 9.00 per hour, £9.90 per hour (nights), £30.50 per sleep in. 30 days annual leave (including bank holidays) Travel allowance for some services - discussed at interview if applicable.
