People-person? Love making someone’s day? You already have what it takes to start a rewarding career in care — where your natural skills really make a difference.

At Avenues, we believe supported people support others well. We create communities where people smile, laugh, grow, and achieve amazing things — and you could be part of that!

Why Social Care? Why now?

If you’re looking for:

• More meaningful work
• Job security and flexibility
• Real career progression
• A supportive, people-first team

We’ve got you covered — and we’ll provide all the training you need, completely free.

We’re looking for Support Workers to work with a small and expanding team at Chaplin Walk, Sudbury, where you will be supporting 5 adults with complex needs, behaviours that challenge, autism and learning disabilities in their home. There will also be some shifts of 1:1 time with the people to support achieve their personal goals to become more independent.  

 The service is a transitional service and so you will be working with the individuals to support them with their personal goals to become more independent to prepare them to move into the community further down the line.  

Your day might include:

• Helping adults with learning disabilities, autism, or physical disabilities live independently,
• Supporting with everyday tasks like shopping, cooking, or household jobs,
• Encouraging social activities, community involvement, and family connections,
• Providing respectful personal care where needed,
• Making every day enjoyable — for the people we support, and for you!

No care experience? That’s OK. If you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, customer service, or childcare, you already have great transferable skills — we’ll teach you the rest.

Perks:

• Early Pay – access wages before payday
• Paid enhanced DBS (so no upfront costs)
• Flexible hours to suit your lifestyle
• Paid annual leave (pro rata)
• Fully funded, award-winning training and qualifications
• Pension scheme and life assurance
