We are looking for a small number of new casual workers to join our staffing bank. These roles are flexible, with shifts offered on an as-needed basis, and represent an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to fit work around other commitments, or supplement other earnings.
We have a number of positions available, including reception and admin-based roles as well as with student facing roles in our classes.
Both roles require a self-motivated, friendly and understanding person who has experience working with adults with disabilities and Autism and can provide support across all of our projects. We can promise you a varied and rewarding role working in a committed and supportive team to help people live more fulfilled lives.
Share is a registered charity and a centre for training and wellbeing. We provide a range of programmes helping adults with learning disabilities, autism and other support needs become more happy, healthy, and independent. Our vision is a world where disabled people are fully included in society, living the life they choose, and we need talented people to help us make that happen.
Joining our team means you’ll be doing work you can be proud of, helping to make sure our charity runs smoothly and keeps supporting people to get the best out of their lives.

- You’ll look after the reception area, answer the phone and field calls
- You’ll welcome all visitors and make sure our students are signed in and collected at the end of the day, liaising with drivers if needed
- You’ll carry out general office administrative tasks like monitoring incoming enquiries, filing, data entry, and organising the post
Community and Classroom Support Worker Responsibilities
- You’ll work flexibly to support students to access community and activities and work across a range of projects
- You’ll lead sessions where smaller groups are required for projects and activities
- You’ll set up, plan and lead free time activities for students
Why work for us?
All of our roles pay at least the London Living Wage and provide opportunities to gain professional experience in a highly supportive environment. Share is committed to empowering disabled adults. You’ll make a difference every day, helping people to live happier, healthier, and more independent lives.
Our values drive us forward. They provide the framework for everything we do, including who we hire. We believe everyone has something to offer others, and we build on people's individual talents, interests, and abilities. We think happy employees are successful employees.
We hold the gold Investors in People accreditation. This means we truly understand the value of people; we focus on what people can do, not what holds them back. And we have robust policies in place so that every single person working at Share takes ownership for making our programmes come to life.
We’ve been recognised for our supportive working environment where everyone has a voice and is valued. You’ll be surrounded by people who support you, challenge you, and inspire you.
