Full job description

About The Role

We are recruiting skilled and compassionate residential support workers to join a newly established single-occupancy specialist house, providing solo support to one young person with complex needs. This is a rewarding role for staff who genuinely understand autism, sensory regulation and low arousal approaches and who want to make a lasting difference to a young person's life during a period of transition and change.

You will be part of a small, highly individualised team providing consistent, therapeutic and person-centred support, working closely with education, health and behaviour support professionals to help the young person feel safe, understood and settled.

About The Young Person You Will Support

The young person you will support has Autism Spectrum Disorder, a severe learning disability and global developmental delay, and is largely nonverbal, communicating through pointing, smiling, clapping, refusal and visual supports such as PECS or Widgit-style symbols. They also live with epilepsy, PICA and significant sensory and emotional regulation needs and can present with behaviours that challenge, including biting, scratching, spitting, throwing items and self-injury, particularly when demands increase, personal space is reduced, routines change or their needs are not understood or met promptly.

They respond best to familiar adults, calm and predictable environments, low-demand interaction, short structured sessions and sensory activities such as trampolining, swinging, water play and time outdoors. They have limited awareness of danger and require continuous supervision at all times.

The Support Required

Minimum 2:1 staffing at all times, with continuous supervision and close attention to safety
Consistent use of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies and autism-informed, low-arousal communication
Confident use of visual communication tools, including PECS and Widgit-style symbols
Support with personal care, medication administration and daily routines, following the current MAR and clinical guidance
Safe management of epilepsy and PICA-related risks, and prompt recognition of changes in presentation
Physical intervention used only as a last resort, in line with PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) training, always least restrictive, properly assessed and recorded
Support with structured daytime activity and education engagement, working alongside tutors and the wider professional network
Careful, gradual support with travel and community access, recognising that car journeys and new environments can be distressing
Facilitating and preparing for family time using familiar routines, photographs, social stories and visual prompts
Accurate recording of incidents, triggers, successful strategies and progress to support multi-agency reviews

Essential Training and Experience

Extensive experience supporting children or young people with autism, learning disabilities and complex care needs
Extensive experience managing epilepsy, including recognising seizure activity and following protocols safely
Experience of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches and proactive, low-arousal strategies
Must be PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) trained
Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, or equivalent, or working towards this qualification
Confidence using visual communication systems such as PECS or Widgit
Enhanced DBS check, or willingness to undergo one, and up-to-date safeguarding training
Paediatric first aid, or willingness to complete this on appointment

Desirable Training and Experience

Experience of PICA-related risk management
Experience working alongside Speech and Language Therapy (SALT), Occupational Therapy (OT) or wider clinical teams
Experience supporting young people through transition, including transition to adulthood
Makaton or wider augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) training
Full, clean driving licence
Experience supporting young people who are Looked After an awareness of Court of Protection or inherent jurisdiction processes

What We Offer

A small, highly individualised placement rather than a large group setting
A genuinely supportive team culture with regular reflective practice and supervision
Full induction and access to ongoing specialist training
Competitive pay, reflecting the skill and commitment this role requires

Pay: £25,420.00-£37,118.94 per year

Work Location: In person
