With autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and severe learning disabilities, they may wake unsettled, struggle with communication, or present behaviours like spitting, hair pulling, or self-harm.

Skilled in non-verbal communication approaches (PECS, Makaton). Familiar with PBS and sensory regulation strategies. Resilient in the face of self-harm or behaviours such as biting or grabbing. Physically fit and alert through the night. Compassionate, reliable, and professional. Must hold a full and clean UK driving licence. Benefits Working at SuperCare: We'll recognise your skills and support your progression: Salary 20% above average. 36 days of advanced training annually. Fully funded Level 3 Diploma. Private health care and 24/7 GP access. Gym stipend and well being package. Pension and bonus scheme. Free parking and communal cars to transport young people in and out of the community.
