As a Support Worker in Torfaen, you’ll help make the everyday remarkable for the people supported.

Cartrefi Cymru is dedicated to supporting those with learning disabilities to live a fulfilled and enriched life in the community. As a Support Worker, you can play a vital role in this.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you’ll actively support individuals in making their own choices and setting their own goals — whether it’s everyday decisions like what to wear, eat, or do, or something bigger such as where to live, how to manage their finances, or where to go on holiday.

As a trusted Support Worker, you’ll empower people to follow through on these choices, including taking part in structured activities that build confidence and develop new skills. You’ll also offer practical support to help them meet responsibilities like paying bills, maintaining their homes, being good neighbours, and staying connected with friends and family.

The goal is to make everyday remarkable through enhancing well-being and focusing on the small, meaningful moments that bring joy and purpose. By offering this kind of person-centred support every day, this truly is a fun and rewarding role for the right person.
