About the role
Support Worker Role
Full time positions available (37.5 hours per week)
UK manual driving licence is required for the role
At Discovery, we're proud to support people across Somerset and Cornwall to live the lives they choose. You'll make a genuine difference every day, and we'll support you with great training, development opportunities and a range of colleague benefits to help your career grow.
There's no such thing as a “typical” Support Worker with us. Our teams include people from all ages and backgrounds — from those starting out in their first role, to career changers, to experienced support workers looking for an organisation that truly values the people it supports.
What unites everyone is the same motivation: helping people live well, learn new things and build greater independence. Our support workers don't see their role as “just a job” — it's a chance to brighten someone's day, champion their choices and be part of moments that matter.
Supporting trips to day services (please note you would not be required to support at the day service)
Enabling independence by assisting with day-to-day tasks (this may include - but not be limited to - finances, shopping, cooking & personal care)
Here at Discovery, we are looking for Support Workers to join the team in Yeovil. Working at our homely Supported Living Service, you will enhance the quality of life of the four individuals who live there by empowering their independence.
Discovery Support Workers do not need prior experience in Health or Social Care as full training is given.
Training, Development and Career Opportunities
Working for Discovery is rewarding, meaningful and offers genuine career progression. Within your first 12 weeks, we'll fund and support you to complete the Care Certificate, which is essential for anyone working in health and social care.
You'll have access to a wide range of online and face-to-face training, including specialist courses tailored to the needs of the people you support. Through our City & Guilds accredited qualification centre, you can work towards diplomas and recognised qualifications — and in some cases earn a financial bonus on completion.
Our Learning Connect online platform gives you access to extensive training pathways so you can continue developing your skills throughout your career with us.
A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work
