Here at Oakwood we look to create an environment where independence and community inclusion can flourish.

As Home Lead you will be an experienced and/or highly motivated individual with the enthusiasm and empathy to support young adults with Autism and associated challenging behaviours as they make the journey into adult life.

You will ensure the highest quality of service is provided for our students through their person centred pathway transition plans and that staff are encouraged and supported to achieve and exceed their full potential; addressing any staffing approaches that differ from those set by the Senior Leadership Team.
