About the role

We're looking for an enthusiastic, active and compassionate Support Worker to join our team in Radstock (BA3), supporting a gentleman in his 30s with autism, a learning disability and sensory processing differences.

This is a dedicated 1:1 support role, with additional 2:1 support provided daily, helping him enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle while providing consistency, reassurance and personalised support.

• Someone who enjoys being out and about
• A good communicator with a positive sense of humour
