About The Company
The Plymouth Day Opportunities family are recruiting!
Plymouth Day Opportunities provides support to young people and adults with a range of physical disabilities, learning disabilities and complex health needs across Plymouth. Helping people to care for themselves, live independently make friends and live a meaningful life is at the heart of what we do.
What do we do here? We support Laura who loves cooking and learning new skills, Richard, who is keen on fitness, Shirley who loves going out on the bus and visiting the aquarium- and much more! From pasty making to baking and enjoying our outdoor area and getting out and about, along with educational programmes there’s no shortage of fun to be had together.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to spend your day, then we have the perfect role for you.
Kirsty, Support Worker at Plymouth Day Opportunities, said: "I feel supported by my colleagues and management. I get to work with a variety of individuals we support daily and build positive meaningful relationships to enhance a person's health and well-being. Seeing how the individuals we support grow in confidence, independence by accessing a service which promotes inclusion and equality is such a rewarding element of the role."
Tis isn’t really a job, it’s more of a lifestyle where you get to spend your days helping others to enjoy theirs. Get in touch if you want to love the life you live too!
At Salutem Care and Education, we recognise the value and wisdom that come from all stages of life. Join our team to be a part of a community that truly appreciates the richness of age diversity.
Now we've shared a glimpse of what it's like to work for us, let us introduce ourselves. We’re Salutem and we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and adults in England and Wales across our residential homes, schools and day centres. Our dedicated support teams empower individuals to overcome any obstacles and live the life they choose.
Each day will be different, and the main focus of your role is to provide daily support to adults in our residential services. It’s definitely not a normal 9-5, you can work days, nights, and flexible shifts too. Talking of ‘dream’ jobs, some of our shifts are sleep-ins!
We want the best for everyone we support and that's what makes us a family. If you have the ability to support someone to feel at home, be their true self, and do what makes their heart happy - we want to hear from you. This is a meaningful role and will suit someone who is looking to make a difference and make memories that'll last a lifetime.

We know our staff put 100% into building brighter futures for the individuals we support. That's why we offer career progression no matter where you start in the organisation. Your progress here will be regularly reviewed and as you gain expertise your rate of pay will increase. We believe in creating a Career from Care and we want the support workers we recruit now to become our managers of the future!
We’re committed to supporting the wellbeing of our team and our benefits package has something for everyone – including these key highlights:
- Competency Frameworks and Pay Scales – We have a development and reward initiative in place for all our individual colleagues and teams, showing clear career pathways, progression & promotion opportunities, and pay scales to work towards if desired.
- Blue Light Card – Working in social care, all our staff qualify for thousands of discounts in shops, restaurants, and venues on the high street with a Blue Light Card. You can register to get 2-years access to the Blue Light Card for £4.99 and reclaim this cost via our expenses process.
