Are you passionate about helping young people achieve their goals and live life without limits?

At Disability Solutions West Midlands, we're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Equity Support Worker to join our award-winning team and help deliver our Life Without Limits project, supporting young people with disabilities aged 16-25 across Stoke-on-Trent as they prepare for independent living.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity. Thanks to our exceptionally low staff turnover, vacancies within our team don't arise often. For decades, Disability Solutions West Midlands has been championing the rights, independence, and aspirations of disabled people. You'll be joining a respected, values-led charity that is recognised for delivering outstanding services across the region.
