Opportunities Together provides support to adults with a learning disability, in their own home. Support workers help people with all the aspects of daily living. They also help people access opportunities and experiences in their local community.
As a support worker in the Opportunities Together Service you'll support adults living with a range of disabilities with all aspects of daily life. Some may have additional complex physical care needs. This means every day is different.
You might help people:
- with all aspects of their personal care

- with support for their daily living skills, whilst encouraging them to be independent and help themselves
- to attend social and leisure activities or medical appointments
- learn new skills to enable more independence
- keep in touch with family and friends
- make friends and build relationships within their local community
You'll need:
- a kind, caring nature and be a good listener
- motivation and flexibility
- to be person centred and committed
- the ability to communicate well with others
- to enjoy working as part of a team
- a desire to help people live happily and independently
