Provide support and care to adults with learning disabilities and autism to participate in meaningful work and develop skills within a group/workshop setting.

The aim is for Co-Workers to provide support based across all groups but to based primarily in one key group. Current jobs roles are based within the Transitions Group. If support is needed in other groups, you may be changed workshop at short notice. The support may be provided on a one-to-one basis if that is what the member needs supporting to a small, shared group of members (maximum of 3). It is important that staff are capable of providing both types of support. 

You will provide care and support to adults with learning disabilities and/or autism to enable them to achieve personal outcomes. Guided by our strapline: “Living Together, Working Together, Growing Together” the Co-Worker will provide relationship-centred care and support which values and promotes growth and a sense of belonging through working in shared and individual settings. Our co-workers support our members within their homes (Supported Living), to access meaningful work, and to have fun and develop relationships.
