At KTM Care, we are looking for enthusiastic, caring, and dedicated Support Workers to join our growing team. You'll support a mix of children and adults with Autism, helping them develop independence, confidence, life skills, and meaningful connections within their communities.
No two days are the same. One day you might be supporting someone to access community activities, develop social skills, or attend appointments. The next, you could be helping a child work towards personal goals, supporting emotional regulation, building confidence, or simply sharing in activities they enjoy.
What You'll Be Doing:
-Supporting children and adults with Autism to achieve their personal goals.
-Encouraging independence and developing life skills.
-Delivering person-centred support tailored to individual needs.
-Promoting positive wellbeing, confidence, and self-esteem.
-Supporting people to engage in community activities, education, employment, and hobbies.
-Building positive, professional relationships with individuals, families, and professionals.

We invest in our team, providing:

Flexible part-time working opportunities
Opportunities for career progression

“We strive to give you a voice so that you can make your own choice.”
Working with Individuals within their own homes, within their family homes and creating as much independence for them as is safely possible.
Weekend support is required to enable Individuals to access the community, accompany them on outings, activities, facilitating friendships and achieve their goals within their careplan.
Weekends are less structured times where \"different\" activities can be be tried and we can spend time with our people to help them access new things.
