The services you could be working in
Our trained staff support people to live in their own homes in the community encouraging them to develop their skills and confidence, take control of their lives and increase their independence. People live on their own, or in small groups, with staff support throughout the day and night, depending on their needs. This can range from a few hours to 24/7.
Where we work: Our Supported Living work takes place in Cardiff and surrounding areas.
Who we support: The people we support are diverse, but frequently need support around a physical disability, learning disability or sensory impairment or difficulties with their mental health or addictions.
Our Community Support team support people in their homes and going out into their communities. Support can range from 2 hours to full day time support for some people. People supported by this team usually live with their families or carers and this support provides an invaluable addition to their lives helping them to more independent and pursue their own interests.

What makes a great support worker?
At Ategi, our support workers come from all walks of life, each bringing their own strengths, interests, and experiences. What ties them together are the shared qualities that help them provide exceptional support and make Ategi a place they love to work.
Putting People First
You put the person you're supporting at the heart of everything you do. That means helping them take control, recognising their strengths, and supporting them to reach their goals—all while treating them with respect and dignity.
Caring About Safeguarding
You understand how vital it is to protect people’s wellbeing. You work within policies to keep everyone safe and encourage positive risk-taking in a responsible way.
Having the Right Experience or Attitude
While experience in support work (paid or unpaid) is helpful, it’s not essential. If you have the right attitude and values, we’ll provide training to help you develop the skills you need.
