Your Skills are Perfect for Social Care!

Support Worker

People-person? Love making someone’s day? You already have what it takes to start a rewarding career in care — where your natural skills really make a difference.

At Avenues, we believe supported people support others well. We create communities where people smile, laugh, grow, and achieve amazing things and you could be part of that!

We are looking for Support Workers to work across 2 of our services, supporting both male and female adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities, mental health needs and physical health needs.

If you’re looking for:

• More meaningful work
• Job security and flexibility
• Real career progression
• A supportive, people-first team

We’ve got you covered — and we’ll provide all the training you need, completely free.

Your day might include:

• Helping adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health, or physical disabilities or those who have similar support to live independently,
• Fun activities that might include attending concerts, disco’s, bowling, London theatre trips, building lego, playing games on a gaming console , playing pool or table tennis,
• Supporting with everyday tasks like shopping, cooking, or household jobs,
• Encouraging social activities, community involvement, and family connections,
• Providing respectful personal care where needed,
• Making every day enjoyable — for the people we support, and for you!

No care experience? That’s OK. If you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, customer service, or childcare, you already have great transferable skills and we’ll teach you the rest.

Perks:

• Early Pay – access wages before payday
• Paid enhanced DBS (so no upfront costs)
• Flexible hours to suit your lifestyle
• Paid annual leave (pro rata)
• Fully funded, award-winning training and qualifications
• Pension scheme and life assurance
• Shopping discounts via Blue Light Card and Benefits website
• Recommend a Friend scheme – earn up to £500
• Free 24/7 wellbeing support, counselling, and advice

As part of our commitment to the “Disability Confident Scheme”, candidates who declare a disability, and meet the key criteria for this role, will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities at the interview stage.
