Support Worker Apprenticeships in Adult Social Care
NVQ Level 2 Support Worker Apprentice – Supported Apprenticeships
Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City is a great place to live and work. Located between Dartmoor National Park and the stunning South Devon Coast and the border with Cornwall, enjoying your work life balance will be a pleasure. We are a progressive local authority, who provides a competitive salary, a generous annual leave entitlement and excellent professional development opportunities.
We are offering a Supported Apprenticeship at the Vine Day Service, designed for individuals who may need additional support to succeed in the workplace, including those with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). This programme provides the opportunity to gain valuable, real-world work experience alongside structured learning.
At Plymouth City Council, apprentices will be supported both in the workplace and through tailored training delivered in partnership with OCSW. This includes ongoing guidance, skills development, and personalised support to help individuals build confidence, independence and employability skills.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
This pathway is ideal for candidates who are motivated to work and learn and who would benefit from additional support to achieve their career goals.
