With 20 years of success, our client provides a wide range of programmes and services to support children and young adults with learning disabilities. 

There are now a number of Support Worker opportunities at our client’s residential and short breaks home in Dartington, working across various shifts including full-time day and night shifts, early to school part-time shifts and if you are unable to commit to contracted hours, casual work which can offer you greater flexibility with the hours you work. 

As a Support Worker taking a friendly and empathetic approach, you’ll help to deliver a 24/7, high level support package to children and young people with learning disabilities and complex needs at our client’s residential and short breaks home in Dartington.
