Community Outreach Support Worker - Leighton Buzzard

You will be working within the people we support homes daily and then going on to support another person after you have finished their 1-2-1 support. Typical shifts are between 0900-1700, 1000-1800, and 1200-2100 Monday to Friday although some weekends may also be needed depending on the need of the people you support. Will be working with multiple people each day supporting them with their daily living skills and being as independent as possible within there home within Leighton Buzzard. 

Our vision is for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives. 

  

We're here to support people with a learning disability, their families and their carer’s. We fight for a kinder, fairer and more inclusive society for people with a learning disability to live in. 

 

At Mencap, everyone works with people with a learning disability either providing support or advice, or alongside one another as colleagues. 

  

Belonging at Mencap is for everyone, every day, everywhere. 

• Everyone is expected to treat people well and make Mencap an inclusive organisation. 

• Every day we grow and learn. It’s okay to make mistakes but we learn from them and make changes 

• Everywhere people will feel respected, valued, and safe to be themselves. 

 

We have Belonging network groups that meet online and are open to all colleagues. The groups include people who identify as Black and Asian, LGBTQIA+, disabled or with a long- term health condition, women, parents and carers, and their allies.
