We have an exciting opportunity to be part of a brand-new supported living service in Bradley Stoke, providing 24-hour support to young people with learning disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities.
For many of those we support, this will be their first time living away from home, so we are looking for patient, empathetic, and compassionate support workers to help them navigate this transition. You will play a key role in assisting individuals with daily living tasks, including housekeeping, budgeting, attending appointments, and personal care, while ensuring their overall well-being.
Additionally, you will support them in finding meaningful activities both locally and across Bristol, helping them achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.
Flexibility is essential, as shifts will include weekends, a variety of patterns, and waking nights.
While experience in working with autism, learning disabilities, or challenging behaviours is desirable, it is not essential. Drivers are preferred but not required.
At Milestones Trust we recognise that without the hard work, commitment and passion of our staff, we wouldn’t be the charity that we are today. In return, we are committed to rewarding you with a competitive pay and benefits package including:
1. 30 days annual leave entitlement (including all recognised public holidays)
2. Company pension scheme, to help grow your retirement pot
3. Learning and development opportunities to help you to build your career, including a comprehensive induction programme, and the opportunity to undertake further qualifications
4. Health Cash Plan on completion of probation giving you access to a minimum of £695 cash back for health treatments e.g. dental, therapies, optical, maternity/paternity, NHS prescriptions etc.
5. Generous Occupational Maternity/Paternity pay
6. Get paid when you want – access your money as you earn it and request your earnings before payday using Dayforce Wallet
7. Access to an Employee Discount Platform from day one, with discounts and cashback for hundreds of retailers
8. An employee referral scheme that allows you to earn money for referring friends and family.
We pride ourselves with being able to offer staff opportunities to develop and progress their careers within the Trust.
This is an ongoing advert and interviews will be held on an ad-hoc basis until sufficient applications have been received.
