Support Worker - CSW

Stonehouse

The autistic people we support are all generally young, fit and healthy but require varying levels of support with some or all of the following: personal care routines, engagement in daily living tasks, companionship, or support to access planned community-based activities. Many enjoy, amongst other things, cooking, gardening, hiking, swimming, yoga, cycling, and going out to pubs, music events, football matches, cinema and restaurants. Each also enjoys spending time with their families who live close by. In your application, please include some information on any hobbies, interests or any other, 'non-care' skills you may have which may be relevant.

Learning Together advocates a gentle teaching approach to care and support. Rather than focusing on the behaviour of those we support, we reflect on our own behaviour and our role in the relationship. The successful candidates will work closely with Service Managers and the Operations Manager.

Shift patterns are varied, but as we support individuals 24/7, flexibility is required across the week, including evenings and weekends (enhanced rate paid for weekends). We will also consider applications from people who require a set pattern of work to fit in with other life commitments. ​

Join us and become part of a unique, creative and friendly team, supporting/enabling adults with autism and learning difficulties to live a great life, stay connected with family and community.
