Job description

Tired of Retail or Hospitality? Your Skills are Perfect for Social Care!

Male Support Worker – Romford, Essex
Full-time (39 hours a week) role available
£25,845 per annum pro rata

Please note: the role involves manual handling – the use of a hoist and supporting wheelchair users

People-person? Love making someone’s day? You already have what it takes to start a rewarding career in care — where your natural skills really make a difference.

At Avenues, we believe supported people support others well. We create communities where people smile, laugh, grow, and achieve amazing things — and you could be part of that!

Why Social Care? Why now?

If you’re looking for:

• More meaningful work
• Job security and flexibility
• Real career progression
• A supportive, people-first team

We’ve got you covered — and we’ll provide all the training you need, completely free.

Your day might include:
