Centa Co is seeking an experienced Support Worker to support an autistic male both at our day centre in Chatham and within the local community.
Applicant must have worked as a Support Worker in field of autism or learning disability in the UK for the last three years minimum.
Please note that this position does depend totally on Medway Council funding for the position so the level of job security is not 100%, unfortunately, so if funding does end, we will offer casual work immediately.
The client can sometimes exhibit inappropriate and challenging behaviours, including physically lashing out at females during meltdowns.
This role is open to male applicants only due to the specific needs and challenging behaviours of the client which include lashing out at females. This is a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
Please note that we are unable to provide sponsorship so please do not apply if you require sponsorship as we will not be able to help.
Essential requirements:
- A minimum of 3 years' recent experience supporting autistic adults in the UK (supporting a relative outside a work context does not, unfortunately, qualify)
- Access to a suitable vehicle and willingness to transport clients as part of the role.
- A full UK driving licence.
- A person-centred and professional approach
Mileage expenses will be reimbursed at 45p per mile.
Probation period of two months.
To apply, please email your covering letter and CV to: [email protected]
