Apprentice Care and Support Assistant

Sanctuary Supported Living is offering an apprenticeship as a Care and Support Assistant at Victoria House in Openshaw, Manchester. You'll earn £18,720 per year for 37.5 hours per week while you learn.

You'd support people with learning and physical disabilities to live more independently.

What you'd do:

• Work one-to-one as a Key Worker and help people follow their personal support plans
• Help with personal care, always respecting comfort and dignity
• Help people take their medication correctly (full training given)
• Support people to go shopping, see friends and attend appointments
• Help keep the home clean, safe and welcoming

You don't need years of experience. Sanctuary wants caring, patient, reliable and organised people who can work alone or in a team and use a computer or tablet for care notes. You'll need Level 2 (grade 4/C) English and maths or equivalent, with support available for under-19s who don't yet have them.

Sanctuary lists 25 days' annual leave pro rata (rising to 30 with service, plus bank holidays), occupational sick pay, a pension matched up to 5% and fully funded training.

Sanctuary says it can only accept applications from people who already have the right to work in the UK. The advert closes on 30 November 2026.
