Looking for a role that's more than just a job?
At Support Solutions, we believe the best Support Workers aren't necessarily those with years of experience – they're people with compassion, excellent communication skills, and a genuine desire to make a difference.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking part-time hours with the flexibility to increase their hours over time. While this role is contracted for up to 24 hours per week, there are regular opportunities to work additional hours, including progressing into full-time work where available.
