- Current Support Worker

This is a truly unique opportunity to support a remarkable young man who has made incredible progress over the last few years. If you're positive, patient, creative and enjoy building meaningful relationships, you'll find this one of the most rewarding support roles available.

About the role

We're looking for a compassionate and committed Support Worker to join a well-established team supporting a gentleman in his 30s with autism in his own home in

Chippenham (SN15).

He communicates in his own unique way and doesn't use words to communicate, but he is highly expressive, intuitive and engaging. Building trust and understanding his communication style is central to supporting him well.

Over recent years, with consistent person-centred support, he has developed greater independence and confidence. Incidents and behaviours of distress have reduced significantly, and he continues to achieve meaningful outcomes with the support of a dedicated team around him.

He enjoys:

- Music, sounds and sensory experiences

- Spending time with his beloved collection of Charlie Bears

- Social interaction with people he trusts

- Exploring the world at his own pace

- Developing new skills and experiences

- Following Positive Behaviour Support plans

- Supporting communication and understanding individual preferences

- Encouraging confidence and new opportunities

- Recognising signs of anxiety and providing reassurance

- Building a trusting, long-term relationship

- Confident working as part of an established team
