Hours: Flexible shifts on a 24/7 rota (planned in advance)
About the role
As a Support Worker at Brandon Trust, you’ll be part of something meaningful—supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live life in the way that suits them best. Whether it’s helping someone pursue a new hobby, build routines, plan a trip, attend their work, maintain their house or simply enjoy their day, you’ll be working alongside them to make it happen.
You’ll support with day-to-day activities like shopping, cooking, and managing health needs—always led by the person’s own preferences and goals.
You’ll also support with personal care. This means helping people with washing, dressing, and other essential personal routines. It’s a vital part of enabling people to live with dignity, choice, and independence. Personal care is always delivered in a respectful and person-centred way, in line with each individual's needs and preferences.
No two days are the same, and every day brings the opportunity to be part of someone’s progress and independence.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
- A positive attitude and a willingness to learn
- A commitment to inclusion and celebrating what makes each person unique
- A full UK driving licence
No experience? That’s okay.
Your values and behaviours matter more than your background. If you're someone who listens well, treats others with respect, and genuinely wants to support people to live their lives, we’ll provide everything you need to succeed. With full training, ongoing support, and development opportunities, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

We’re committed to building a diverse team and an inclusive workplace. If you need any adjustments during the application or interview process, just let us know—we’re here to support you too.
How cells decide what to become: exploring diversity in the developing spinal cord
Key information
Research topics
This is a summer student position supervised by Eleftheria Parasyraki in James Briscoe's lab.
Introduction to the science
In our lab, we study how embryos produce the right cells in the right place at the right time. To do this, we work on the developing spinal cord—a key part of the central nervous system that gives rise to many different types of neurons and glia in a highly organised manner. We investigate how genes interact to control cell identity, and how these interactions build the structures of the nervous system. Understanding these processes not only reveals fundamental rules of neural tissue formation, but also helps guide the design of better treatments for nervous system diseases.
About the project
In this summer project, you will explore the spatial and temporal cues that shape cell identity in the developing spinal cord. Although many individual factors have been identified, we still do not understand how positional information (“where a cell is”) and timing signals (“when it develops”) work together to produce specific cell types. This project aims to uncover some of the key transcription factors and epigenetic regulators that help cells “know” what to become and when.
You will gain hands-on experience with a range of widely used and cutting-edge techniques, including embryonic stem cell culture and directed differentiation, gene knockouts, molecular biology assays, immunofluorescence, advanced microscopy, and flow cytometry. This project will give you direct exposure to developmental biology, stem cell models, and molecular biology—providing a strong foundation for future research in cell and developmental biology.[1, 2]

Introduction to the science
Systemic lupus erthyematosus (Lupus) is an autoimmune disease that mainly impacts women. It causes tissue and organ damage that can have significant impact on quality of life. In most cases lupus is the result of multiple genes acting together (polygenic). But there are rare instances when a single gene can cause lupus (monogenic). In the Vinuesa Lab, we study how people with these rare single gene cases develop lupus with the hope of better understanding how particular genes may contribute to the polygenic form of lupus.
About the project
In lupus, one gene that might play an important role in how the disease starts and progresses is the gene, TLR7. This gene is a type of pattern recognition receptor, and recognises distinct molecules in biology, called RNA, based on their unique patterns. We are going to study how different types of TLR7 genes (variants) may influence the severity of lupus. To do this, we will use molecular cloning techniques to assemble DNA copies of different TLR7 variants. Next, we will force cells to express a single TLR7 variant, and then test how these cells respond to RNA. With this information, we will compare the cell responses of each TLR7 variant. Knowing how each variant of TLR7 responds to RNA can help us better understand why some TLR7 variants cause disease in people.

- This project would suit someone good with their hands and patient. Molecular coning is a laborious process, with a high chance of failure. But, with enough patience, and attention to detail, it usually works. Successful assembly of DNA can be quite rewarding.
- Good knowledge in relevant scientific area(s)
- Good written and spoken communication skills
- Ability to work independently and also capable of interacting within a group
