Looking for a Role That Really Means Something?

Do you want a job where your patience, consistency and care genuinely improve someone’s day?
Would you like to feel supported, valued and part of a team that truly lives its values?

At SeeAbility, we support people with learning disabilities, autism and sight loss to live the lives they choose, and every day, you can see the difference your support makes.

When you join us, you’re not just taking a job. You’re joining a values‑led team where people look out for one another and take pride in what they do.

Why Work at SeeAbility?

Because you deserve stability, development and support, just as much as the people we support.

What’s in it for you?

  • Guaranteed hours — peace of mind and consistency
  • Paid training and clear development opportunities
  • A friendly, supportive team — you’re never on your own
  • Stream (formerly Wagestream) — access your pay when you need it

Is This You?

Do you stay calm when things take time?

Can you explain information clearly and more than once if needed?
Do you value routine, structure and helping others feel safe and confident?

We welcome applications from people at all levels — whether you’re new to social care or have lots of experience. This is a physical, hands‑on role, and to succeed you’ll have:

• Good spoken and written English

• A full UK manual driving licence
• The right to live and work in the UK
• A practical, active approach to work, with the ability to support people throughout the day
• A caring, positive and resilient mindset

If you genuinely care about people, we can teach you the rest.

How Will You Make a Difference?

As a Support Worker, you’ll help people live fuller, more independent lives by:

  • Supporting daily routines from morning to bedtime
  • Planning and enjoying person‑centred activities — walks, swimming, shopping and trips out
  • Building trusted, respectful relationships that support confidence and wellbeing
  • Keeping clear and accurate records
  • Working closely with colleagues and professionals

This is a role where building strong relationships is just as important as providing practical support.

About Mickleburgh — Who Will You Support?

Hi, I'm a young woman living in my own home in Herne Bay. I have autism, mild learning disabilities and some complex health needs, and I'm looking for caring, calm and confident Support Workers to join my small team.

This is a chance to build a genuine relationship and support me to live the life I choose. I enjoy shopping trips, spending time at home, learning new skills and getting out in my local community. I appreciate people who are kind, reliable, patient and can share a laugh with me along the way.

Some days I may need extra reassurance, understanding or a little space, so consistency and a calm approach are really important. In return, you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference while supporting me to grow in confidence and independence.

You'll never be on your own. You'll be part of a friendly, experienced team and will receive support from specialist colleagues, including behaviour support professionals, to help you succeed in your role.

What you'll be doing

  • Supporting with day-to-day routines, from getting ready in the morning to winding down at the end of the day
  • Planning and taking part in fun activities that match each person's interests and goals
  • Encouraging independence, confidence and new experiences
  • Building positive relationships that help people feel valued and supported
  • Keeping clear and accurate support records

Could This Be Your Next Step?

Do you want more than “just a job”?

Are you looking for a role where small moments make a big difference?

If so, we’d love to hear from you!!
