We are looking for an experienced Male Support Worker
We are looking for an experienced Male Support Worker to join our Adult Services team in Kinson, providing high-quality, person-centred support to a gentleman with complex care needs. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is compassionate, reliable and committed to helping the people we support live happy, fulfilling and independent lives.
A high number of candidates may make applications for this position, so make sure to send your CV and application through as soon as possible.
Please note: Autism Unlimited does not provide visa sponsorship.
The role
As a Support Worker, you’ll work alongside Mikey in his own home in Kinson, getting to know him as an individual and supporting him to communicate, make choices and enjoy the things that matter most to him.
Mikey has his own unique ways of expressing himself and you’ll play an important role in understanding his communication and helping him to be heard. He uses a combination of visual supports, PECS, signs, gestures and a digital communication aid, so patience, attentiveness and a willingness to learn are key.
Life with Mikey is varied and full of opportunities for meaningful experiences. You might spend one day exploring the New Forest, enjoying a coffee and cake at a local café, playing football, listening to music or getting stuck into a puzzle. You’ll encourage Mikey to try new things, build his independence and be part of his local community.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Mikey receives 2:1 support, so you’ll always be working as part of a team. Together, you’ll provide consistent, person-centred support with everything from personal care, medication and preparing meals to getting out, having fun and working towards personal goals.
Alongside supporting Mikey day to day, you’ll play an important role in maintaining his support records, including care plans, finances, appointments and medication records. You’ll also follow his individual support plan, ensuring he feels comfortable, happy and supported, while using your own skills and life experience to encourage independence and develop good life skills within the community.
Hours of work - Full time
You would be required to work a mixture of shift which will vary between 7am - 10pm, on a 2 week rolling rota. This will include working alternative weekends.
