ESPA is an established Charity that supports Autistic people. We want to recruit some great new support workers; people with the right values and behaviours to work in our residential service in the Houghton Le Spring area – could this be you?

Our main priority for this job role is to find people with the right values, behaviours and attitudes to match our own. You don’t need to have previous experience in this field, nor do you need qualifications – we’re happy to work with you to help you become an excellent support worker.

We support 6 individuals over two adjacent sites, Holly House and Holly View. The 5 individuals at Holly House have lived together for many years. All of our service users require structured, consistent 24-hour support. We provide this with a particular focus on physical health and mental wellbeing. Individuals at Holly access a range of outdoor and community-based activities based upon their personal preferences and abilities.

We are looking to appoint caring individuals who enjoy working with people and are committed to supporting autistic individuals to live a life they enjoy. Although in no way essential, we are keen to recruit drivers.

In return, we can offer you:

• 6 weeks (including bank holidays) paid holiday increasing to 8 weeks

• Company Pension Scheme/Life Assurance

• Meals provided on shift

• Company sick pay scheme up to 3 months full pay

• Intensive 2-week Induction with continuous training and development
