About the role

As a Project Worker, you will be part of an enthusiastic and creative team who provide daily support to adults with learning disabilities and autism as they participate in workshop activities of their choosing within our site-based services, and café sites.

For this role skills and expertise in art, IT, music, drama, dance, photography, gardening, and outdoor activities are advantageous, as these are activities covered in our workshops, so a familiarity with the subjects is beneficial. Or, if you have any other skills, let us know!

This role includes supporting students on a 1:1 basis, facilitating workshops, and supporting people with personal care, as and when required.

While previous experience in care or support is highly advantageous, it is not required as we provide full training and ongoing support to our staff team.
