You’ll embrace all aspects of the role, including personal care, domestic tasks, social engagement, and community activities like walking, swimming, and going to the gym. While prior experience is beneficial, an engaging, creative, and person-centred approach is highly valued. Your personal skills and interests, such as sports, creative arts, music, and cooking, will enrich the lives of our service users.

We provide comprehensive training and mentoring to develop your understanding of autism and autism support provision. Additional training specific to the needs of the service users you support will also be provided. Flexibility is required, as the role includes working on a rota that covers evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins, with enhanced payments for sleep-in shifts.
