Job description

In this position you will be supporting four young adults with learning difficulties and disabilities; primarily those living with autism. You will be joining an intimate supported living home that enables individuals to become more independent with their day-to-day activities; medication; and meal preparation. You will also be required to support them with their community activities, such as going to the gym; cinema; walks; and also attending work experience. You will be joining an established and friendly staff team, where management are actively involved in the day-to-day care of the service users.

Shifts are 7 / 7.5 hours per day. The early shift hours are 7.30am - 2.30pm and the late shift hours are 2.30pm - 10pm. You will be working on a rolling rota as part of a team. This will include working weekends, with sleep-in shifts. It is likely that the successful applicant will be asked to work a full day shift (7.30am - 10pm) on one day of the weekend. A valid UK driving license is not obligatory, but will be considered highly preferable, given the rural location of the setting.

While previous experience of working in the sector is not necessary, as all of our staff receive training tailored to the needs of the people they support, those with experience will be favoured.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people we support. All successful candidates will be subject to an Enhanced DBS/PVG and Regulated Activity check, against the Barred Adult List.
