About the Person You’ll Be Supporting & Your Role

We are looking for an experienced Support Worker to support an 18-year-old young woman as she transitions into her own home and develops her independence. She has autism and experiences mental health challenges, so we are seeking someone patient, understanding, and committed to providing person-centred support. She is a huge Taylor Swift fan, loves music, and adores her dog, so applicants must be comfortable working in a home where a dog is present. No personal care is required for this role.

This individual is transitioning from a hospital stay during which she experienced periods of distress that resulted in behaviours that challenge and the need for frequent restraint. Through consistent, person-centred support and continuity of care, we expect these behaviours to reduce as she settles into her new environment and support arrangements.

As a Senior Support Worker, you'll champion excellent care, maintain high levels of auditing, support people to achieve their goals, and lead a team committed to making a positive impact.

• Employee benefits, lifestyle savings & wellbeing support
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Online counselling and GP access
• Cycle to work and salary sacrifice schemes
• Enhanced DBS provided
