Location and Environment

The position is based in a large house and a one-bedroom flat in Risby. We support gentlemen on the autistic spectrum who may exhibit challenging behaviors.

• Support night-time and morning routines, including personal care and responding promptly to needs during night shifts.
• Carry out cleaning duties and complete necessary paperwork.

Person Specification

We need staff who are flexible, passionate about caring for people, and committed to helping residents live as independently as possible while ensuring their safety. A full driving license and willingness to drive accessible vehicles are essential.

• Day shifts: 0700 to 1430 and 1400 to 2200. Availability for both shifts and weekends is required.
