Home, a place where you belong

Join us in this great and rewarding job to provide person-centred and strengths-based support to our customer (let's call them J) helping them reach their full potential.

Our team assist two wonderful, yet complex young men who are twin brothers. They are autistic and love spending time indoors and outdoors doing the things they enjoy and are important to them. D&J have sensory processing difficulties and often seek out sensory feedback to help them regulate their emotions. Understanding how these fantastic young men respond to sensory messages is important to be aware of, as sometimes sounds and smells as well as touch can feel different for them and be over-stimulating or something that they seek out.

What you’ll do

• Helping J overcome barriers and help them lead a fulfilling and meaningful life and reach their true potential.

• Recognizing strengths and abilities and help them take the small steps at their pace, never losing sight of their dreams and aspirations!

• Supporting J using Positive Behavioural Support model to promote independence and social inclusion through person centred support.

• Monitoring our customers’ mental and physical health to identify any signs of deterioration and take positive risk management to their health and wellbeing.

• With the help of our clinical team and team leaders, you'll help J to participate in his favourite things through positive risk taking
