- Supporting college attendance
- Going out for meals or to the pub
You’ll also provide support with everyday tasks such as shopping, cooking, appointments, finances, medication, household tasks and personal care.
You’ll need to be confident in and around water, as swimming is a regular activity for one of the people we support. Due to the needs of the service, we will also need you to have full UK manual driver’s licence.
What We're Looking For - What Matters Most

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Kind, compassionate and positive people
- Reliable and committed
- A good communicator and team player
- Comfortable working independently
- Willing to learn and try new things
- Confident using technology and new systems
- Organised, with good administrative and numeracy skills
- Able to follow routines, policies and guidelines
More than just a job
Being a Support Practitioner is about much more than completing a shift. It's about building relationships, encouraging independence and helping someone enjoy a life that is meaningful to them.
There's no better feeling than heading home at the end of your shift knowing you've made a genuine difference to someone's life.
