About the Role

- Working closely with colleagues, families, and professionals
What We’re Looking For
- Experience supporting people with learning disabilities and/or autism in the UK
- Calm, consistent, and emotionally resilient approach
- Ability to follow structure, routines, and behaviour support plans
- Good communication and basic IT skills
- A genuine commitment to person-centred care and dignity
Desirable:
- NVQ Level 2/3 in Health & Social Care
