Where You’ll Be Working

This application is for roles based at Yeovil. You’ll be based at one service only, so no hopping between sites.

You’ll be supporting individuals with a range of needs, including limited communication. Some use boards to express themselves, and you’ll be part of a team that helps them live independently, safely, and happily.

What You’ll Be Doing

Every day is different, and every moment counts. You’ll be helping with:

Personal care and daily routines
Cooking, cleaning, and household tasks
Medication and financial support
Emotional wellbeing and companionship
Community outings, hobbies, and discovering new activities

Whether it’s helping someone prepare a meal, supporting them on a trip into town, or simply being a calm and caring presence, you’ll be making a real impact.

Who We’re Looking For

You might already be a Care Assistant, Support Worker, or Healthcare Assistant. Or maybe you’re new to care but full of compassion and ready to learn. Either way, we’ll give you the tools and support to succeed.

You’ll thrive here if you are:

Caring, confident, and reliable
A great communicator and team player
Calm under pressure and ready to adapt
Passionate about helping others live independently
A licensed driver, ready to support service users in the community
