Do you have the ambition to make a meaningful impact on the lives of autistic children and young people?

At St. John's, we've been making a positive difference in the lives of children and young people for nearly 140 years. We are now looking for Bank Residential Support Workers to help us continue making that difference

As a member of our bank team, you will work under the supervision and guidance of the Care Management Team, Senior Residential Support Workers, and Therapy Teams. You will support learners in all residential houses and the community, assisting with social and academic activities.

Our aim is to ensure all learners have equal opportunities to develop their independence and social skills, preparing them for adult life.

What will you be doing?
  • Supporting learners with self-care and independence skills such as eating, drinking, washing, bathing, using the toilet, managing incontinence, dressing, mobility, and medication administration.
  • Ensuring learners' care files are kept up to date and accurate.
  • At the start of each shift, reviewing communication and log books, and liaising with staff at handover to ensure learners' needs are well documented and addressed.
  • Establish supportive relationships with learners and encourage the development of stable relationships.
  • Promote the emotional health and self-esteem of learners and support them through changes in their living situation and personal circumstances.
  • Accompanying learners into the community to take part in social and recreational activities such as bowling, cinema trips, and dining out, helping them build confidence and enjoy meaningful experiences beyond the college setting.
In return, we offer a fantastic working environment, career development opportunities, and more

These positions are offered on a bank basis, providing ad-hoc work across our residential settings. We are also recruiting for Bank Night Residential Support Workers to support our learners during evening and overnight hours.
