We have an exciting opportunity for a full time Support Worker to join our established team in Luton, supporting a gentleman in his late thirties who lives independently in his own home.

He loves being out and about, staying active, and engaging in hobbies that bring him enjoyment and support his independence. His week might include going for drives in his mobility vehicle, visiting local parks, enjoying meals out, bus rides, or simply spending time exploring new experiences and interests. He is sensory focused and benefits from support that encourages him to develop skills, try new things at his own pace, and maintain his independence.

We are looking for someone who can work majority of shifts across Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so the successful candidate must be willing to work weekends on a regular basis.

• A good understanding of autism and sensory based support.
• Experience supporting people who may display behaviours of distress.
