Passionate about making a difference and looking for a role where you get the job satisfaction you deserve? Then this could be what you have been looking for!

Our amazing #TeamNew Deer are on the lookout for a new caring, compassionate and motivated individual to join them on a basis. Due to the rural location, we will need you to have a driving license and access to your own vehicle.

The Role

You'll become part of a friendly, welcoming team who supports eight individuals who are all on the Autism spectrum. There's never a dull moment at New Deer, no two days are ever the same and you'll always be kept on your toes!

You'll provide invaluable support with all aspects of daily living, including medication, meal preparation, housework and personal care. As the individuals also love keeping active and being part of their local community, we're also looking for you to be enthusiastic and creative when supporting them with their hobbies and interests too which include walking, swimming and activities at home.

About You

You don't need experience to start your career with us; we recruit on values and we'll give you all the training you'll need if you're successful. We'll even put you through your SVQ qualification too!

All we’ll need you to bring is: -

• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Great communication and organisational skills
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
• A creative drive to improve the lives of the individuals you support
• Confidence in the use of technology
• A full driving license and access to your own vehicle

Your rota will be issued on a 4 week rolling basis and you'll even get every second weekend off! Our sleepover shifts don’t fall as part of your contracted hours.
