Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of young individuals with autism? Join our team at Orbis Education and Care as a Support Worker and be a part of a dedicated, compassionate community. At Ty Seren we support adults with complex needs associated with autism. We blend education, care and therapeutic support to provide tailor-made placements for unique individuals. Much of your time will be spent supporting autistic adults with everyday tasks to help them lead as independent, fulfilling, and empowered lives as possible.
On the best days, you might be out exploring the Welsh countryside, enjoying day trips, preparing meals together, or simply making the most of everyday moments. At other times, you will provide personal support with hygiene, daily routines, and emotional wellbeing. On tougher days, you’ll offer calm, compassionate support when someone is overwhelmed or distressed, ensuring they feel safe and respected. Every day is different. You’ll receive full training, guidance, and a supportive team so you can make a real difference.
