At Priority , part of Orbis Education & Care , we deliver truly person-centred support — real people helping real people to thrive.

We’re now looking for Support Workers to join our friendly, supportive team at our beautiful four-bedroom home near Bridgend , set within two acres of peaceful Welsh countryside. This warm, nurturing environment is a place where individuals with complex needs — including learning disabilities, mental health needs and autism — can grow in confidence, develop life skills and enjoy greater independence.

A caring, patient and resilient approach to supporting others.
Excellent communication skills and a positive, can‑do mindset.
Flexibility to work days, evenings, weekends and waking nights as part of a rota.
A full UK driving licence (due to our peaceful rural location).
A willingness to learn — full training is provided!
