I would like to introduce you to a service user of SILS who kindly shared some words about what she thought about us!✨

‘I like how sils has helped me gain more independence. Sils have helped my confidence grow and helped me recognise my self worth. I get out more and do different activities like going into the town centre more often! Support workers have helped me achieve small and large goals such as improving mental health and managing finances.’

It was a lovely sunny day for a trip to millennium square😁☀️

Look forward to meeting you!

•Job description:
We work with many adult client groups; learning difficulties, mental health needs, older people, younger people and also some adults with physical disabilities. We don't provide any personal care- just support to improve lives. As we work across Bristol- own transport is essential (electric bikes and legal scooters ok).

Experience of supporting adults is preferred, but much more importantly, we would like to employ someone who is passionate about improving the lives of adults with a support need. So if you have no experience, but you think you are what we're looking for then please send us your CV! We would also encourage you to add a covering letter or note to your application, particularly if you feel you have less experience.

Say hello to one of our longest service users💫
We asked for a few words about what she thinks of SiLS!
‘I’ve been with SiLS for a long time, around 10 years, I first joined to improve my independence which I’m doing. When I starting having support Jill helped me a lot with organising my home and Sheree has also helped me to follow recipes.
I like the support I get from SiLS, the support workers I’ve had are very friendly!’😃✨
