Children and young adults with learning disabilities and their families are at the heart of everything we do, and we want every person we support to have a great life, with excellent outcomes. We couldn’t achieve that without all the great support workers who join our care teams. It all starts with you!

There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ support worker. Our staff come from lots of different backgrounds, people with little or no experience but want a job that involves helping people, those who want a change of career as well as experienced support workers.

The one thing that links all of them together is their desire to work with young learning disabled people, make their lives better and help them to learn something new or take a further step towards independence. Our support workers certainly don’t see what they do as ‘just another job’.

No two days will be the same as you will get involved in a variety of different tasks and activities whilst helping young people to learn the skills they need to live the life they choose.

Ideally, you will have previous experience in this sector and hold a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent). Though this qualification is by no means essential, a willingness to gain the qualification within two years is required. Defined as a “Good” provider by Ofsted, Robins are looking for “Outstanding” staff who will deliver support in a professional, caring way.

We are a well-established charity that provides an excellent range of staff benefits including 28 days’ annual leave, a company pension scheme, childcare vouchers, staff discount scheme, ongoing training and supervision, continuing professional development and support as well as an extensive induction on commencement of employment.

Lifeworks is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and they expect all staff to share this commitment.
