About the role
At Community Links, we support people with learning disabilities to live independent, meaningful lives — and we’re looking for caring, reliable people to join our team.
This is more than just a job. It’s about building relationships, supporting people to achieve their goals, and being part of moments that really matter.
No two days are the same — you might be:
• Supporting someone to cook a meal or learn new life skills
• Helping someone access the community or attend activities
• Encouraging independence, confidence and choice
• Supporting with health, routines, and daily living
• Being part of someone’s journey towards greater independence.
What we’re looking for
We’re not just looking for experience — we’re looking for the right values.
You’ll be:
• Kind, patient and positive
• Reliable and committed
• Able to work as part of a team and independently
• Motivated to support others to live their best lives
Experience is helpful but not essential — we provide full training. If you’ve supported someone in any capacity (family, friends, work), we’d love to hear from you.
A full UK driving licence and access to a car (with business insurance) is preferred but not essential.
Important information (please read)
• You must have the right to work in the UK
• We are not able to offer Skilled Worker visa sponsorship
• Shifts include evenings, weekends, and bank holidays
• Skills for using basic IT (emails, online systems) are required

Your development
We invest in our people and want you to grow with us.
You’ll have access to:
• Full induction and ongoing training
• Level 3 NVQ / Apprenticeship opportunities
