Support people in the heart of Glastonbury as a Support Worker with Discovery, based at Jasmine — a friendly home supporting six people with learning and physical disabilities. You’ll help people get out and about to the theatre, cinema, clubs, bowling and local places of interest, support friendships and new opportunities, and enable as much independence as possible at home, helping with morning routines, breakfast and day planning. Drivers are needed because outings are a big part of life here, and the house is conveniently close to the high street and local shops.
This role suits warm, reliable carers who want meaningful work — no previous social care experience is essential, just the right values and commitment. Discovery offers flexible full‑time and part‑time shifts, pay at £13.13 per hour, 30 days’ annual leave (including bank holidays, pro rata), industry-leading training, clear progression, pension and life assurance, high-street discounts, an enhanced DBS paid for by the employer, a supported Learn to Drive scheme (up to 30 lessons plus tests) and a salary-advance option. Discovery is Disability Confident and will support reasonable adjustments and guaranteed interviews for eligible disabled applicants.
