Support Worker

We specialise in offering day opportunities to adults across Nottingham with profound and multiple learning and physical disabilities, supporting them to do the things they love while they achieve their goals and aspirations. Every day is different at The Ark and East Midlands Community Services - Megan recently enjoyed getting her hair styled by her Support Worker Stuart from the comfort of her seat, we visited the show-stopping Luminarium and took in all the different colours and lights, and we picked all our homegrown vegetables that we planted together in summer! As a family, we especially love celebrating an occassion with a huge party complete with lots of decorations, good food, and dressing up. We're truly a family who support each other to thrive, just like any family would. So if you're looking for a job to love where you can make a meaningful difference every day, apply now and join us
