Learning Disability Support roles
A rewarding role supporting people to live life with choice, independence and confidence.
Are you positive, patient and motivated by helping others live fulfilling lives?
Our Learning Disability Support Workers play a vital role in supporting adults with learning disabilities to live independently, develop skills and take an active part in their communities.
We’re recruiting Support Workers to join our friendly Learning Disability teams across Bath, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire.
What you’ll do
As a Support Worker, you’ll support people with the everyday aspects of life — helping them build independence, follow routines and make choices that matter to them.
You will:
- Support people with day‑to‑day activities and life skills
- Encourage independence, choice and control over everyday decisions
- Build positive, long‑term relationships based on trust and respect
- Support people to maintain relationships with family and friends
- Encourage participation in community activities and social opportunities
- Work alongside colleagues and other professionals to provide consistent support
- This is a practical, people‑focused role where small steps can lead to big achievements.
“The most rewarding part of my role is seeing people grow in confidence and independence, knowing I’ve supported them to achieve something meaningful.”

Who we’re looking for
To flourish in this role, you’ll have:
- A caring, patient and respectful approach
- Good communication skills
- The ability to work well as part of a team
- A genuine commitment to supporting others
- Previous experience can be helpful, but is not essential. We’re looking for people with the right values, attitude and willingness to learn.
- For some roles, a driving licence is required due to community‑based activities — but this isn’t essential for all positions, so please don’t let this put you off applying.
