Be there, supporting people with learning and physical disabilities to live as independently as possible. We believe in doing the very best we can for people. Their health, happiness and wellbeing really matter to us.

You can also become a Bank Support Worker…

This role is ideal for people who may be looking to take a step into support work or those with a flexible approach to work. As a Southdown Bank Support Worker, you will have the same role as our permanent staff members, with the following differences:

• you will provide cover in services when permanent Support Workers are on leave, off sick or on training courses. This can be planned well in advance or at short notice. The more flexible you are, the more work you could be offered.
• you will earn £12.88 per hour (depending on the service)
