Role

We are currently recruiting a Project Worker to work within our Gorebridge team. You will be joining our dedicated team supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism to reach their individual goals and ambitions.

As a Project Worker, you will be part of an enthusiastic and creative team who provide daily support to adults with learning disabilities and autism as they participate in workshop activities of their choosing within our site-based services, and café sites.

This role includes supporting students on a 1:1 basis, facilitating workshops, and supporting people with personal care tasks throughout the day such as assistance with eating and drinking, toileting needs, and other private hygiene needs.

For this vacancy, we are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with “all rounder” skills, as our Gorebridge service runs varied workshops throughout the week which involve the following areas: art & crafts, IT, music, drama, dance, cooking, gardening, and outdoor activities. If you have any other skills, let us know! 

While previous experience in care or support is highly advantageous, it is not required as we provide full training and ongoing support to our staff team.
