Our Outreach support in the Sheffield area works with over 15 people living in their own homes. We need people like you to ensure they can live as independently as possible.

We are looking for flexible and open-minded people to join our team. If you are energetic and love trying new activities and are passionate about helping people to access their community, then we want to hear from you.

You could be empowering people to maintain or learn new skills needed to live their best life!

For this role we need you to be a driver with access to your own vehicle, so you can get around Sheffield and make the most of the time you are spending with the people you support.

You should be available to work shifts across the week and alternate weekends, including some waking night and sleep-in shifts as needed. This is a part time role.

So, if you enjoy building meaningful relationships and think you could plan, communicate and deliver support with and alongside people, then this is the place for you.

What will you do?
