Make A Difference Every Day
As a Residential Education Worker at St Joseph's no two days are the same. We are seeking dedicated and compassionate individuals to join our residential care team on a permanent basis, supporting young people with complex learning disabilities, severe social communication difficulties and behavioural needs.
You will support our young people in their residential houses on site, outside of the school day, at weekends and during school holidays. Your role will focus on helping them to develop interests, independence and essential life skills.
Working closely with teachers and therapists you will help assess and monitor each student's progress. Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting with personal care
- Helping young people choose and prepare meals
- Supporting shopping and money-handling skills
- Accompanying activities on and off site
During the school holidays our young people enjoy a wide range of fully supported trips, including visits to the beach and safari park, adventure parks, meals out, inclusive cycling sessions and Airhop.
Training, Support and Development
You will be supported by a skilled and dedicated management team. Our comprehensive training and mentoring programme include safeguarding, autism awareness and positive behaviour support. We will equip you with the skills and confidence to:
- Provide clear boundaries and choices
- Support positive behaviour
- Deliver safe and effective physical intervention when required
We are a non-maintained specialist school, college and on-site children's home, working with complex and vulnerable children and young people, many with autism. This role offers a genuine opportunity to make a lasting difference, build life skills and help prepare young people for adulthood.
Who We Are Looking For
You do not need previous experience. We are looking for people with:
- Empathy, enthusiasm and compassion
- Strong mental, physical and emotional resilience are essential
- A keen desire to make a real difference
You must be prepared to provide personal care (after full training), as some of our young people require support to remain clean and comfortable.
