#Be Part Of Someone's Story

We are calling all courageous, creative, and curious individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. At Glassmoon Services, we provide 24-hour support to individuals with autism and/or learning disabilities, including a range of needs and different presentations. We believe in offering real choice and independence to those we support.

Are you skilled in supporting a young person with complex needs? Can you help them build and maintain meaningful connections within their community? Can you collaborate effectively with various professionals to ensure that this young individual can achieve their desired outcomes? This role may present challenges, but it also offers great rewards. You will play a vital role in helping young individuals on their journey towards attending college, securing a job, enjoying music festivals, building relationships, and most importantly, acquiring the skills they need to become as independent as possible.

We can guarantee that no day is ever the same, but you'll work alongside a group of dedicated individuals who care deeply about their work, the people they support, and their colleagues. We foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone is valued, respected, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

• Supporting individuals to engage with their interests, maintain skills, and receive personalized, person-centered care.
• Actively engaging with the people we support to foster their relationships and community connections.
• Completing and maintaining Support Plans and other necessary documentation to ensure effective support.
• Notifying the Team Leader/Senior Support Worker of any changes in the needs of the individuals supported, to promote their well-being.
• Promoting and maintaining the safety and safeguarding of those in our care.
• Helping individuals to maintain and develop relationships with family, friends, and others important to them.
