Keyworker - Autism Support Specialist

4 weeks ago


Ilford, Greater London, United Kingdom Barnardos Full time

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Keyworker to join our team in Greater Manchester. As a Keyworker, you will provide crucial support to children, young people with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism, and their families as part of the NHS Long Term Plan.

Covering the Greater Manchester area, it is essential to hold a valid UK driving licence with access to your own vehicle. You will work as part of a team to prevent - where possible - children and young people from requiring an inpatient admission or placement.

As a Keyworker, you will have passion and commitment when delivering quality support within the family home, placement, or inpatient setting. You will work closely with health and social care partners to ensure excellent communication, a shared understanding, and a team approach.

The service has a comprehensive training offer, including core competencies through to bespoke training. To be a successful Keyworker, you will need to have the following:

  • Experience in supporting children with Learning Disabilities or Autism
  • The ability to ensure the 'voice' of the child and family is central, enabling lived experience to create change.
  • Excellent team working skills
  • Safeguarding knowledge
  • Good IT and recording skills

This service is dynamic, no two days are the same. You will have a number of children and young people who you will build positive and meaningful relationships with. You will manage your own diary with families, providing support at a time that suits their needs.

We aim to provide the right support, at the right time, in the right way. You may work by yourself or alongside colleagues depending on the support needed.

We believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage their work-life balance. We are therefore open to offering flexible working arrangements.

Our hybrid working initiative is based on trust, flexibility, and empowerment. We understand our workplace offer means different things to different people, and we encourage those conversations.

We offer a range of benefits, including 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing after 5 years service, and access to a Group Personal Pension with a matched 4% or 6% contribution from Barnardo's.
