About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Support Worker to oversee one of our specialist services, supporting two males. The two individuals have a combination of needs, including autism, learning disabilities, epilepsy, and additional complex conditions.

You will help maintain a structured environment, complete essential documentation accurately, and ensure that communication between team members is clear and consistent. You will remain attentive and responsive, following safeguarding procedures, promoting dignity and respect, and using your training and judgement to provide calm, compassionate support at all times.
