About the role

We’re looking for a proactive, sociable Support Worker to join our lively home in Woodley, where we support three gentlemen aged 30s, 50s and 60s with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs associated with Fragile X syndrome.

It’s a very active house – the people we support love staying busy and trying new experiences. You’ll be someone who brings enthusiasm, a good sense of humor and a passion for making every day fulfilling.

What they enjoy:

Shopping trips, various activities and going to the cinema
Bike riding and days out
Visiting conventions like Comic Con and talking football
Discos and social nights (including Friday disco!)
Creative projects (they recently entered a Halloween competition building a tin man sculpture!)
Holidays and family time

Providing some 1:1 support during the day and shared support within the home
Personal care for one person (others just need prompting with daily routines)

Families play a big part in the lives of the people we support, so positive relationship-building is essential.
