About The Role

At Aspens we work across Kent and Sussex; supporting individuals with autistic spectrum conditions, learning disabilities and physical disabilities.

PLEASE NOTE: Residential service – we do not offer staff accommodation.

Falconer’s Court is a residential service, home to 7 adult females with autism spectrum conditions and other learning and physical disabilities.

Many of those we support have limited verbal communication skills and can occasionally display behaviours of concern.

On the other hand, the home is full of lots of energy. To match this, we are looking for a friendly, energetic and hard‑working person, who has a fun spirit and a passion for supporting others to join our fantastic staff team.

About You

We are looking for friendly, hard‑working people with a fun spirit and a good sense of humour to join our team of support staff.

Shift times are 07.30-15.00 & 14.30-22.00 – longer days at weekends.
