The role of the Support Worker is to provide reliable, calm, and empathetic care that aligns with our clients' established routines and behavioural support strategies. This includes supporting him both practically and emotionally in his daily routines at home and in the community, while working in close partnership with his family, especially his mother, who oversees his care.

Night shifts also available.

Weekend shifts- Saturdays 8am-3pm or 8am-8pm, Sundays 9am-2:30pm alternate weekends

  • Support the client in maintaining a structured and calming environment, avoiding noisy or overwhelming places.
  • Collaborate with another staff member during all 2:1 shifts to ensure consistent and reliable support.

  • Ability to work as part of a team and communicate effectively with other staff members.
  • Commitment to the client's well-being and willingness to engage in his preferred activities (Marvel, DC Comics, Doctor Who).
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

The job role will require an enhanced DBS Check. If employed directly by us, we will arrange this. If you are transferring from another agency, we will accept an existing DBS from the update service.
