Qualifications or experience aren’t necessary to be a Support Worker. Instead we are looking for somebody who is fun, caring, and is able to stay calm under pressure.

Come along and our meet our friendly team anytime through the day. They can chat with you about what it’s like to be a Southdown Support Worker and answer any questions you might have.

At the event you will be able to apply for the role and be interviewed. It would be helpful if you could bring along a CV but this isn’t essential. We can’t wait to meet you! 😊
