As a Support Worker, you'll be more than just their support – you'll be a key part of someone's journey towards living their best life. Here's what you'll be doing:
- Daily Care & Support: Helping with personal care, meal preparation, medication, and other daily tasks.

- Respect & Dignity: Ensuring that the individuals and their families are treated with the utmost respect, dignity, and equality.
Who you will be Supporting?
At Leatherhead Support Service we support people with challenging behaviours and high levels of anxiety who struggle with change and unpredictability. They require a clear routine and plan for the day. They require the team to be consistent and confident, offering information and choice in a non-demanding way.
The people we support love being out and about in the community. Going to the beach and walking along the sea front is one of their favourite things to do. They enjoy swimming and water-based activities, listening to music, dancing, and attending social gatherings.
