Support Worker

At Salutem Care and Education, we are dedicated to ensuring that the individuals we support receive exceptional, empowering care from a team of highly trained and compassionate staff, within environments that are both warm and nurturing. We pride ourselves on being innovative, solution-focused, and committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for every person in our care.

New Road is a Supported living service in the heart of Peterborough and is calling for caring individuals who want to make a real difference in the lives of others.

At New Road, we support adults with diverse needs, including learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and mental health challenges. We provide the perfect blend of care and independence, empowering our People to lead life on their terms and nurture those all-important independent living skills.

Let us introduce you to Mathew, one of the individuals we support. Mathew recently sailed his way to an entry-level certificate in Sailing! He's an absolute thrill-seeker, the kind who can't resist the adrenaline rush of theme park rides and wraps up the day with a well-deserved pint at the local pub.

Our vibrant community is full of life, laughter, and joy. The individuals we support love hitting the local disco and dancing the night away, firing up the BBQ for delicious summer feasts, and venturing out for snowy winter adventures.

Working at New Road isn't just a job; it's an adventure where you will be instrumental in helping individuals lead the most independent lives possible, while also creating cherished memories and fulfilling dreams.
