It is an essential requirement of this role to hold a full, clean, UK driving licence, be able to drive the service vehicle and have use of your own vehicle for work purposes.

We have an exciting opportunity to be part of a fantastic supported living service in Bradley Stoke, providing 24-hour support to young people with learning disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities.
For many of those we support, this is their first time living away from home, so we are looking for patient, empathetic, and compassionate support workers to help them navigate this transition. You will play a key role in assisting individuals with daily living tasks, including housekeeping, budgeting, attending appointments, and personal care, while ensuring their overall well-being.
Additionally, you will support them in finding meaningful activities both locally and across Bristol and surrounding areas, helping them achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.
Flexibility is essential, as shifts will include weekends, a variety of patterns, and waking nights.
We are looking for support workers who are keen on working with animals, as the position requires supporting people to work at farms.
Another expectation is to support people with swimming and hydrotherapy, so we are looking for candidates who are confident in entering the pool (you do not have to be a confident swimmer).
While experience in working with autism, learning disabilities, or challenging behaviours is desirable, it is not essential.
At Milestones Trust we recognise that without the hard work, commitment and passion of our staff, we wouldn’t be the charity that we are today. In return, we are committed to rewarding you with a competitive pay and benefits package including:

• 30 days’ annual leave, including recognised public holidays
• Learning and development to support your career growth
• Nationally recognised qualifications, from entry level care to management
• Flexible working, with rotas provided in advance
• Occupational Sick Pay after two years, increasing with service
• Health Cash Plan after probation, offering at least £695 cashback for health treatments (dental, optical, therapies, maternity/paternity, prescriptions)
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
• Free enhanced DBS check
• Dayforce Wallet, giving you access to your earnings before payday
• Employee referral scheme with financial rewards
• Employee Assistance Programme from day one, offering confidential 24/7 support
• Company pension scheme to help grow your retirement savings

Please note - due to internal redeployment, priority for this role will be given to staff at risk.

About Milestones Trust

Milestones Trust supports adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live their best lives. Established in 1986, we support more than 500 people across Bath, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire.

Our approach is based around the fact that you can't build a support service around a complex condition. You can build it around a person, if you understand their particular care needs, wants and ambitions. And while that is our starting point, everyone changes. So we change with them.

The care we provide is straightforward, practical and above all, tailored to people's individual needs. We take the time to get to know the people we support, helping them keep their connections to their own lives, their family, friends and community. We support people to live with more choice and more independence. We exist to make sure they have every opportunity to live happy and fulfilled lives.
