About the role:

We are looking for people with a fun positive outlook willing to encourage people we support to try new things, with a reasonable level of fitness to help the people we support go out and about in their wheelchairs.
At this Service the people we support enjoy active lifestyles including things such as visiting longleat, gardening club, exercise club, swimming, theatre, going out for lunch, going to the pub, meeting up with friends and family and any other fun activities you think they may enjoy!

Discovery exists to help each person we support to live a fulfilling life, to be equal in society and to be active in his or her local community. That’s a big deal. It means being able to have choice and control in life. It means choosing to go out or to stay in, making friends and having relationships, finding and developing skills and interests.
