As a Support Worker, you'll support up to 10 autistic people and people with learning disabilities and complex health needswho live in their own bungalows.

This is a varied role where you'll get to know each person'sinterests, routines and goals. You might be supporting someone to enjoy a trip to a local café, helping with shopping, accompanying them to appointments, assisting with meal preparation, providing medication support, or offering help with personal care when requested. Some individuals use wheelchairs and hoisting equipment, and you'll receive full training to support them safely and confidently.

The people we support enjoy simple things that make a big difference to their wellbeing, from gardening, watching films and spending time with pets, to enjoying days out, theatre trips and having someone to chat with over a coffee. We're looking for someone who is compassionate, positive and genuinely interested in helping people maintain their independence while being a valued part of their lives.

As this role involves supporting people both independently and as part of a wider team, you'll need to be confident, adaptable and able to use your initiative.
