The role will include supporting and caring for 16-25-year-olds who have Autism, Learning Difficulties, and Mental Health difficulties. Students live in houses in and around Sheffield, with their peers and staff. The goal is to develop their independent living skills and participate fully in the running of the household, including meal planning, shopping, social activities, and household tasks.

Be a patient and caring approach when providing all aspects of care
Be strong-willed and comfortable with challenging behaviour
Have experience in one-to-one support to encourage independence and raise self-esteem

There is a range of shifts including AM (8:00 am-4:00 pm), PM (3:30 pm-10:00 pm), and night shifts (9:30 pm-8:30 am). This is a flexible position depending on worker availability.

Benefits of the role:

Flexibility to pick and choose your availability
Opportunities to explore other roles within Health and Social Care and Education
Weekly Pay (PAYE)
Internal and external staff development opportunities, such as nationally recognised qualifications up to Master’s degree level
Relaxed dress code

All of our supply staff are paid on a PAYE basis, so you can rest assured that you’re paying the right level of Tax and National Insurance and there’s no messing around with admin charges coming out of your hard-earned cash.
