Doing Amazing Things Together
We’re all about possibilities. Are you?
Do you enjoy long walks, drives out and exploring the countryside?
Become a Support Worker
What matters to the people we support matters to us. It’s their life, their way.
We are looking for a male support worker to join our team supporting a gentleman in his own home in Maidstone, Kent.
You will be working in his home, so it’s important you can connect, share interests and be interested. So if enjoying long walks (whatever the weather!) and drives out into the countryside are your thing and you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.
You should have a confident approach and previous experience working with people with Autism and behaviours that challenge would be an advantage.
This gentleman has his own vehicle, so you will need to be a driver and willing to drive his car. For this you should have a full UK manual driving licence and have held it for at least 1 year for insurance purposes.
"Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010".
Ability to commute/relocate: postcode ME16 9LH - You must be able to reliably commute for shift start times or plan to relocate before starting work (required)
Affinity Trust does not presently hold a Sponsorship Licence and while this status is reviewed regularly there is no present proposal to apply for such a Licence
Why Join Us?
What will we do?
We will train you in everything you need to be a great Support Worker. We will apply and pay for your enhanced DBS, and we have a mentorship scheme in place to provide support and guide you on your journey with us.
You will be entitled to annual leave with the ability to buy additional leave.
Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24 hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits.

What will you do?
Supporting people with their interests and hobbies is really important but We also support people to make healthy lifestyle choices and maintain their home in a way they feel safe and well.
It sounds exciting to say no two days will be the same, but in support, sometimes they are. Sometimes people like routine and struggle with change… But when you support someone to try something new – what a feeling!
