Job description

Care Worker – Thatcham - £18-25k plus investment in training, qualifications and career development.

Are you looking to work in the care industry? Do you Drive? If yes, then this is the perfect Care Worker position for you!

Working for an amazing charity who support autistic young people and their families, you will help transform their lives by not only caring for and supporting them day to day but helping them to learn and develop life skills and improve their quality of life.

As part of a highly trained team, you will be fully supported in developing your career as a Care Worker. Not only will you gain a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, you will also gain Autism Practitioner certification – all paid for by the charity.

Day to day you will help deliver the care and support needed as well as being involved in activities individually designed to help develop their skills and learn – this could include reading, playing games, playing sports, baking, going shopping and other day trips and leisure activities.

This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity which gives immense satisfaction, knowing you will contribute to the development and care of autistic young people especially when you see the joy and sense of achievement it brings to them and their families.

There are a number of vacancies at this specialist residential school and we are looking for applicants of varied backgrounds who enjoy caring for others and want to develop a career in a very people-based charity.

Experience is not necessary as full training and certification will be provided, although if you are already working in a care environment either professionally or through a club we are keen to speak with you.

Typically, this could include:

• Volunteers with organisations such as youth clubs, beavers, guides, etc.
• Experienced Care Worker with a track record working in residential care homes, NHS and healthcare, nurseries, education (pre‑school, primary or secondary), charities, etc.
• First‑hand experience caring for autistic children or adults.

We welcome applications from anyone permitted to work in the UK including anyone looking to relocate to the UK as long as you possess a UK or European Passport or hold a valid work Visa / Permit (unfortunately sponsorship is not available for the Care Worker position).

Insight Recruitment Group work closely with businesses to create vacancies which are a true reflection of the working environment, role and career opportunity, and support our applicants through every step of the process to ensure transparency, trust and communication between the business and the applicant is of the highest quality.
