Join Our Team – Two Exciting Opportunities Available
Are you an experienced Support Worker looking for a rewarding role where no two days are the same?
Due to expansion, we have two permanent part-time positions available for confident, compassionate and resilient Male Support Workers to join a dedicated team supporting an inspiring 15-year-old young man with an acquired brain injury, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, learning disabilities and a recent diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
He has a fantastic sense of humour, enjoys getting out into the community, and loves engaging activities. As a result of his acquired brain injury and autism, he can present with behaviours that are challenging. This role is best suited to someone who has previous experience supporting individuals with acquired brain injury and managing the associated challenging behaviours, together with an understanding of autism and person-centred approaches to support. You will need to be calm under pressure, able to build trusting relationships, and confident using positive behaviour support strategies.
