Are you ready to make a positive impact on someone's life? Join our dynamic team as a Support Worker, where you'll be an integral part of a transformative support plan, helping our client lead the life they choose. Operating in the client’s home and community, this role offers part-time and full-time opportunities, providing flexibility to fit your schedule.

Becky is 21 years old and lives with her mum who she has a very special bond with. She has three cats and two dogs. Becky loves to craft with beads and make cards for others. Becky enjoys helping with the cooking and eating meals together. Becky has mild cerebral palsy, she is autistic, has a learning disability and may display distress behaviours when dysregulated.

Due to the occupational requirements of the role we are seeking female only applicants.

Overview of role:
Your role will be to consolidate the skills she has already acquired and support her in new extracurricular activities outside college time and over the weekend and holidays. She does need continued but gentle prompting with self-help skills. Becky can communicate verbally and uses pictorial timetables and an emotions board. There will be days when she needs to have her own space, do drawing or watch cartoons on her iPad and other days when you can encourage her to join you in the kitchen to do some baking. Becky enjoys swimming, bowling and going out for meals.

Who this job would suit:
You will bring to this role professionalism and experience with Autistic young people, be able to guide Becky through different emotions she maybe feeling and helping her to self-regulate. You must be bubbly and upbeat and have the sensibility to know when to step up and when to step back. Someone with a good sense of humour will get on well with Becky. Someone who is passionate about making a difference to a young person’s life. Someone who works well in a small team with a desire to develop and learn.
