We are looking for someone equally compassionate, reliable and conscientious to join the team. Previous experience of social care and supporting an individual with autism using the principles of ABA would be an advantage.

We can offer a supportive and pleasant home environment, with a comprehensive package of paid training to support the client within a structured pattern of activities. The client has a lovely nature and is fun to work with.

Support shifts are currently 7.30am to 1.30pm and 1.15pm to 8.30pm seven days a week; you must be available to work some weekend hours on a rota basis. The client requires around the clock care. In order for this to be possible it is essential candidates are flexible in their availability. While all our employees have normal weekly working hours, you will be asked to work on other days/times to cover for staff absence.
