Support Worker

About Discovery
Discovery exists to help each person we support to live a fulfilling life, to be equal in society and to be active in his or her local community. That’s a big deal. It means being able to have choice and control in life. It means choosing to go out or to stay in, making friends and having relationships, finding and developing skills and interests. It also means managing a home, voting, staying healthy and being able to pursue employment or volunteering opportunities. If you think you can help the people we support get more from life, we want to hear from you.

At Discovery, you'll find more than a job - You'll find purpose, belonging, and the support to thrive. Your voice matters, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your growth is celebrated. Together, we make a real difference - for the people we support and for you.

Discovery is proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2025 – now 5 years in a row!

Your wellbeing matters. From health support to flexible working, we provide the tools and culture to stay balanced, healthy, and at your best, both inside and outside of work.
