The opportunity

This is a role with an exciting career and development plan, structured to ensure our staff are trained, supported, and continually developed.

There will be a thorough induction, fully expensed training courses and the opportunity to expand your knowledge. You will be supported to gain the necessary qualification to meet SSSC registration requirements, and you will gain a firm understanding of autism spectrum disorder and associated support needs, within a positive, supportive working environment. It is a great opportunity to launch your career and see it flourish.

The Role

Creatively learning about the young people, their interests, dislikes and triggers, and using this connection to establish rewarding relationships is central to the role.

Working with the young adults, you will strive to create a positive, engaging ethos of being socially involved and independent.

Overarching this, you will support the young adults with their independent living, working with them to develop their skills and establish healthy routines.

You will be patient and resilient, and able to recognise the reward in transforming a young person’s life. You will take care of everyday needs, using a calm, reliable approach that builds trust and confidence.

You will be friendly, approachable and kind in your dealings with the children and young people. You will be committed to giving them the space and opportunity to thrive, playing your part in creating a nurturing environment in which they can fulfil their potential.

You will play a key role in the smooth-running of the site, and you will have a good grasp of safety and hygiene, and a conscientious dedication to the young people’s wellbeing. This is a role in which attention to detail really counts – and one that touches the real lives of people every day
