We are a national charity providing person-centred support for people with learning disabilities across the whole of England and Scotland.We are extremely proud to have been doing this since 1991 during which time we have empowered thousands of people to meet their aspirations and goals in life and to live as independently as they wish.We have full time, party time or bank (casual) roles available to fit in around you and your availability . That flexibility does go two ways however as our services operate over 24 hours a day, every day. For some roles therefore some evening, weekend and night working is required, depending on the people we are supporting and hours of support they need.If you would like to find out more and how you can "be the difference, change lives" then check out our website: http://affinitytrust.ourvacancies.co.uk/ or for an informal chat with one of the team give us a call on: 0116 236 3793
