About the Opportunity
University isn't for everyone...
Neither is working in a job that means nothing.
If you're 18 or over, enjoy helping people and want a career where every day matters, this could be exactly what you're looking for.
This isn't just another apprenticeship.
It's your chance to start a career with one of the UK's leading specialist charities, supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy and complex needs.
You'll be paid from your very first day, receive expert training, gain a nationally recognised qualification and work alongside some of the very best people in social care.
And the best bit?
When you successfully complete your apprenticeship, you'll have the opportunity to move into a permanent Support Worker role earning £13.46 per hour.
