No matter the circumstances, we will always need caring and values-driven people to support people with learning disabilities and/or autism to lead safe and fulfilling lives. With a role as a Discovery Support Worker you have the peace of mind of knowing that you are protecting and transforming people’s lives – with job security.
We already have a number of vacancies across Somerset, but anticipate severe staff shortages as people are asked to self-isolate.

You’ll be making an essential difference to vulnerable people, earning money and exploring a fulfilling new career all at the same time.
At Discovery we recruit people based on our values, meaning that as a Support Worker you don’t need qualifications – we will give you all the training you need.
