We have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Support Worker to join us, at our Abbey Craig service providing support to 4 young individuals with Autism in a fantastic new build accommodation in the Easterhouse area.
Experience of working with individuals who have autism and a knowledge of positive behaviour approaches to support are all desirable but not essential.

- Producing the monthly rota for your team, taking into account budgetary requirements and ensuring that all staff meet their contracted hours whilst managing holiday cover and absence.
- Developing the ability of your team to produce accurate and effective support plans.
- Covering on-call shift work as and when needed.

**Supported Individuals**:

- Plan and facilitate meetings with individuals and important people in their lives in order to collate the appropriate information required to write an effective support plan.
- Effectively match supported individuals to staff members, keeping in mind the identified outcomes and goals to be achieved for said supported individual.

**Organisational**:

- Liaising with external agencies such as an individual's family or Social Work Services.
- Ensure that the standards set by the SSSC and Care Inspectorate as well as The Richmond Fellowship Scotland's own standards are always met.
- Positively represent the values of The Richmond Fellowship Scotland when engaging with all external agencies.

**Additional Information**

**How to Apply**:
