Support Worker, Community Health

Summary

Are you a compassionate, dedicated individual looking for a rewarding role where you can truly make an impact? We’re looking for caring and enthusiastic Support Workers to join our Supported Living team in Ammanford. This is an 18.5 hour Support Worker role, with an additional 9 hour sleep in shift (27.5 hours per week). Due to the specific needs of the individuals we support [and current legal guidance], this role is only open to applicants who are biologically female.

A full UK manual licence is required to be able to drive Motability cars. This service operates 24/7, so flexibility is key. You’ll work a variety of shifts, including days, evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins. Typical day shifts run from 7am – 11pm with sleep-ins as additional hours. If you’re ready to make a difference in someone’s life while building a rewarding career, we’d love to hear from you!

Codi is a not-for-profit with a big heart and an even bigger mission. As Wales’ largest provider of housing, care, and support, we’re here to help people live well, feel supported, and rise to their full potential. Every day, our teams support nearly 17,000 individuals across Wales with services that make a real and uplifting difference to their everyday lives. Our name says it all: ‘Codi’ means rise in Welsh.

It reflects who we are, where we come from, and our ambition to lift expectations, lift communities, and lift each other.

Our friendly team supports two incredible individuals with learning disabilities and mental health needs in their home, just a short walk from Ammanford town centre. Staff also support an individual with learning disabilities, who lives in the complex flat attached to the house. These individuals are active, engaged, and love volunteering, aqua aerobics, Zumba, cinema trips, and one has even competed in the Olympics!

This is more than a job, it’s a chance to empower, uplift, and share unforgettable experiences.

As a Support Worker, you’ll play a key role in helping individuals develop life skills, enjoy their hobbies, and stay connected to their community. Your day-to-day might include:

• Supporting independence in cooking, budgeting, and household tasks
• Administering medication

• Helping individuals access community activities and local groups
