About the role
At Sunnyside, nestled within a charming village community in Williton, every day is different, but every day you'll make a real difference.
Whether it's a jaunt to the shops, an excursion further afield, or simply basking in the summer sun in our garden oasis, you'll be supporting adults with learning disabilities to enjoy life to the fullest. From community activities and social events to days out and holidays, no two days are the same. It's a rewarding role where you'll build meaningful relationships, share memorable experiences, and help people achieve their goals while having plenty of fun along the way.

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 2026 – now 6 years in a row!

About you
As a Support Worker, you'll be the driving force behind empowering those we support to seize the day and experience all that life has to offer. From accompanying them on outings to attending appointments, from tending to the garden to brainstorming exciting summer activities, you'll play a pivotal role in enriching lives. Alongside these enriching experiences, you'll also provide assistance with personal care, household tasks, meal preparation, and financial management.

If you're passionate about making a positive impact and eager to help individuals lead fulfilling lives, we invite you to embark on this rewarding journey with us at Sunnyside.
