Are you caring, patient, and looking for a role where every day truly matters? At Priority Childcare, part of Orbis Education & Care, we provide person-centred support that helps people live fulfilling, meaningful lives — and we’re looking for Support Workers to join our welcoming team at Graig Y Bedw in Pontardulais, Swansea.

Graig Y Bedw is a warm, supportive home set in a peaceful community, supporting adults with a range of needs including learning disabilities, mental health needs, and autism. Our focus is on creating a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can build confidence, develop life skills, and move towards greater independence.

If you’re looking for a rewarding role where you can build genuine relationships and see the positive impact of your work every day, this could be the role for you.

No two days are the same, but your role will include:

• Supporting adults with their emotional, physical, and social wellbeing
• Building trusting, positive relationships so individuals feel safe and valued
• Encouraging independence and supporting the development of daily living skills
• Supporting activities at home and out in the community
• Working closely with colleagues to deliver personalised support plans
• Keeping accurate records of progress, activities, and any incidents
• Helping with everyday household tasks, including cooking and cleaning

You don’t need previous care experience — just the right values and attitude. We’re looking for people who are:

• Caring, patient, and resilient
• Confident communicators with a positive, can-do approach
• Flexible to work a rota including days, evenings, weekends, and waking nights
• Hold a full UK driving licence (essential due to needs of our individuals)
• Willing to learn — full training is provided

Please note:
