Looking for a career where you can really make a difference? Then we want you to be a part of our team! This is more than a job; it’s a career that supports people to live life to the full.
We need proactive and reliable people to join us at our Supported Living services. This service is in the Southport area, close to the town centre with easy access to local transport links. You will be joining a friendly, established team that provides quality support to autistic adults. Our night shifts usually start at 22:00 and finish at 08:00, but please get in touch if you would like to discuss other options.
Autism Initiatives work positively alongside people with autism, providing specialist services that are tailored to each individual.
About the Role
As a Support Worker, you can enjoy an interesting and varied role. You will be supporting people with Autism to live as independently as possible, promote health and well-being and support them to maintain their home. Some cleaning duties may be required. The people who live here may require your support throughout the night, which may include some aspects of personal care. Having someone there who they have built a trusting rapport with will make a positive difference. You will be committed to learning about their needs, and be able to offer them positive reassurance and flexible support.
