About Discovery

At Discovery, we're proud to support people across Somerset and Cornwall to live the lives they choose. When you join us, you're not just starting a new job — you're becoming part of a friendly, dedicated team that puts people at the heart of everything we do. You'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're making a real difference every single day, and in return we'll make sure your career can be the best it can be through excellent training, development opportunities and colleague benefits.

There's no such thing as a “typical” Support Worker here. Our teams are made up of people from all backgrounds — from school leavers who want to start a meaningful career, to those looking for a change, to experienced support workers who want to work somewhere that genuinely values the people it supports.

What connects every one of them is a shared motivation: the desire to help people live well, learn new things, and take steps towards greater independence. Our support workers don't see what they do as “just another job” — they see it as a chance to brighten someone's day, champion someone's choices, and be part of moments that matter.

Thanks to our amazing teams, Dimensions Group has been accredited as a Great Place to Work for 2026 — our eighth consecutive year of recognition
