Job description

Help transform lives by joining our team.

It's not easy, and it's not for everyone. But as a support worker, the rewards can be so much bigger than the challenges. You really will make a positive difference to people’s lives.

You’ll be joining our team, both locally and nationally and we’ll support you every step of the way.

We need you to be resilient, supportive and sensitive towards the needs of autistic people. Being a support worker takes bravery, patience and commitment. But working with autistic people gives so much more in return.

You may have a personal connection, a desire to work with or real life experiences working with autistic people. You might not have lots of experience yet, but if you share our values and are willing to make a difference to the lives of autistic people, we’d love to hear from you.

We offer a fantastic one year induction programme, continuing learning and development opportunities and the support you need to develop a career in social care. Along with a host of benefits – from shopping discounts to flexible working and a competitive pension scheme.

We are passionate about supporting autistic people into work, and particularly welcome applications from autistic people. We help autistic people from all backgrounds and strive to represent the same diversity in our staff and volunteers. We particularly encourage applications from people from all minority groups, who are currently under-represented in our workforce. Together, we can create a society that works for autistic people.

We are looking for a full time support worker to work in our residential home in New Addington, Croydon. You’ll be working with autistic adults and their families in a residential environment that support the service users' needs.

Our residential home currently supports 11 individuals. The centre is split into two buildings and is run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Support workers help the service users to complete their everyday routines, prepare meals, as well as help them learn essential home skills such as doing the washing and making the bed. The service users regularly use the other Croydon day services.

Being a support worker takes bravery, patience and commitment. But working with autistic people gives so much more in return.

We need you to be resilient, supportive and sensitive towards the needs of autistic people.

Hours of Work: Full time hours 37-40 hour per week contracts available . We promote a flexible rota system to create a healthy work/life balance for our staff. Where possible we ask staff to work 1 weekend in a month.

We offer a competitive salary , overtime opportunities paid at an enhanced rate of £10.92 per hour and a sleep in premium at £50 per night for staff.
