Now in our 30th year, Creative Support remains a not-for-profit organisation focused on delivering an excellent standard of care and support to vulnerable people. We are looking for individuals to join our team of Support Workers working with people with Learning Disabilities across two of our bespoke services in Durham.

We have an array of hours available, so can provide full time, part time, weekend work and relief roles depending the levels of experience that you have.

Benefits of working with Creative Support:

Our training is provided by the Creative Academy who recently received the Investors in People GOLD award for the wonderful work that they do.

    Drivers would be preferred but are not essential.
