Located in the historically rich market town of Shepton Mallet, Avebury House Children's Home provides nurturing care and support for up to 6 children and young people with autism and associated learning difficulties. Avebury House operates 38 weeks per year (term time only).

At Aspris Children's Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. As long as you can demonstrate the values needed for a role within residential childcare, we will give you all the training and support you need to progress!

A Level 3 qualification in Children's Residential and Childcare is essential, as well as previous experience within a residential childcare setting along with the following characteristics:

• Resilience - We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.

• Communication - Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Good teamwork and communication plays a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.

• Organisation - You'll need to be confident and organised in updating care plans and reporting information that will be relevant to the care of our young people.

• Caring - Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.

• Attentive - No young person / situation is the same so being attentive to understand them and identify areas where we can support is important and alert within any situation.

Above all, we provide a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most.
