Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of individuals with autism?
Join our team at Orbis Education and Care as a Support Worker and be a part of a dedicated, compassionate community!
About Us
Orbis Education and Care is a leading provider of specialist services for children and adults with complex needs associated with autism. Our mission is to provide exceptional care and support that empowers individuals to lead fulfilling lives. We focus on a person-centred approach, ensuring each individual's strengths, interests, and aspirations are at the heart of everything we do.
Role Overview
As a Support Worker at Maes Y Coed, you will play an important role in delivering high-quality, person-centred support to supported individuals within a residential setting. Working independently during your shift, you will provide dedicated support to an individual living in their own self-contained flat, promoting choice, dignity, independence, and wellbeing in all aspects of daily life.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference, supporting individuals to live fulfilling lives, achieve outcomes that are meaningful to them, and develop the skills and confidence to maximise their independence.
While you will be part of a wider, supportive, and experienced team, you will be comfortable working autonomously, making informed decisions in line with support plans and organisational policies, and taking ownership of your responsibilities throughout your shift. You will build positive relationships based on trust, respect, and understanding, ensuring each individual receives the support they need to thrive.
