Job description

We are currently recruiting for a Project Worker to work within our Gorebridge team.

You will be joining our dedicated team supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism to reach their individual goals and ambitions.

Details

Working Hours: 10:00 – 16:00, Monday – Friday, with full time hours at 30 per week.

Full time and part time contracts available: we’d love to hear from all applicants interested in part time or full time work, however we won’t be able to consider applicants looking to work less than 2 days per week.

Pay: Upmo is a Living Wage Employer; the rate of pay for this role is £12.60 per hour.

Holiday: 30 days pro rata, enhanced at 3 years’ service by an additional day (pro rata) per year thereafter, up to a maximum of 5 days. Upmo regularly closes during the Christmas/New Year period.

About the role

As a Project Worker, you will be part of an enthusiastic and creative team who provide daily support to adults with learning disabilities and autism as they participate in workshop activities of their choosing within our site-based services, and café sites.

This role includes supporting students on a 1:1 basis, facilitating workshops, and supporting people with personal care tasks throughout the day such as assistance with eating and drinking, toileting needs, and other private hygiene needs.

For this role, we are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with skills and expertise in art, IT, music, drama, dance, photography, gardening, and outdoor activities. Or, if you have any other skills, let us know! We have recently moved our Outdoor Learning activates to a new site at Inch Nursery, and so we are looking to expand our pool of Project Worker staff that have an active interest in covering these activities.

While previous experience in care or support is highly advantageous, it is not required as we provide full training and ongoing support to our staff team.
