Who are Affinity Trust?
We are a social care provider and charity supporting people with learning disabilities, autistic people and people with other assessed needs to live active, fulfilling and independent lives. We work across England and Scotland and are registered with the Care Quality Commission and the Care Inspectorate.
Our values guide everything we do:
-
People are at the heart of everything we do: we listen, we learn, we build on strengths.
-
We give our best: what we do matters, and we take responsibility.
-
We work together: we’re one team, valuing strengths and differences, being open and trusting.
-
We have courage: we try new things, and we’re creative and adaptable.
As our Learning and Development Assistant Coordinator, you’ll play an important role in bringing these values to life by helping ensure colleagues have access to high-quality learning and development opportunities. Your work will help equip our teams with the knowledge and skills they need to provide excellent support and make a real difference in the lives of the people we support.
Inclusion, accessibility and our commitment to diversity
Diversity is key to what we do. Life would be dull, and change slow, if we all thought the same way. We want colleagues who bring different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences, and we know this makes us stronger and better for the people we support.
We are committed to being Disability Confident and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
We’re also committed to making our recruitment process as accessible as possible. If you need any reasonable adjustments at any stage, for example, accessible formats, support with the application form or adjustments for interview, you can tell us in your application or contact our recruitment team to discuss what you need.
