Support Worker

Could November be the start of something new?
A new direction. A rewarding career. And the chance to make a real difference in someone’s life.
We’re proud of the people who make Green Light what it is, and we’re looking for more great people to join us for our induction on the 2nd of November.
We support adults with autism and learning disabilities to live lives they’re proud of. That starts with getting to know each person: what matters to them, what they enjoy and what a good day looks like for them.
Our values are Empathy, Integrity and Empowerment. They shape how we support people, how we work together and the standards we expect from everyone who joins us.
We’re looking for kind, capable and compassionate people who share those values; people who care deeply, do the right thing and want to empower others.
Sound like you? We’d love to meet you.

The practical details We consider where you live when matching you with a home and normally ask colleagues to be able to travel up to around 30 minutes from home. A driving licence is helpful because of the location of some of our homes. You must already have the right to work in the UK. We’re unable to offer visa sponsorship or relocation assistance. Ready for a new direction? Apply now to be considered for our induction starting 2nd of November 2026. We’d love to meet you.

Those that do join our comprehensive organisational training programme, a home-specific induction training programme and are provided with a period of ‘shadowing’ or ‘buddying up’ with confident colleagues who can introduce you to people and ‘show you the ropes’.

Your manager will provide you with regular supervision (1:1) so you can discuss your role and explore any additional support or training needed. After training, you’ll start to provide care and support to those living in the home. As you’d expect, how people spend their time, varies widely, according to the goals, likes and dislikes of each person. Some people may be very active ‘outdoor types’ – surfing, kayaking, cycling, swimming etc. while others may enjoy less thrilling activities! Others may need your help in other areas, attending work, volunteering, getting to college placements, meeting up with family and friends.

Great teams play to their strengths, so team members with certain skills or interests may be matched up with people who want or need to learn those skills too. Some people we support may have worries or fears they may be working on or wish to overcome. They may need your help to expand their horizons, try new things, a different way, or build confidence with new people or new situations. The challenges and achievements to be made are so different for each person we support.

Would you like to ’empower people to lead a lifestyle they’re proud of?’

We do! In fact, that’s been our sole purpose since starting Green Light back in 2010. Today, we still like nothing more than bringing out the best in people. – Seeing people achieve the (previously thought) impossible. Seeing improvements in communication, social relationships and independence. Seeing people lead healthier more active lifestyles. Regaining a sense of fun.

If you’ve seen our social media, you’ll know just how proud we are of what we do for (and with) the people we support. What may be less obvious is our genuine excitement about what else we might achieve for people as we build on what we’ve learned so far. How could we do what we do even better? – Life’s a journey after all!

Perhaps you’ll join us for the next part of our journey? – Maybe you’ll play a key role in what we go on to achieve next? – I hope so!

Thanks for your interest in joining us!
