Are you passionate about supporting adults with autism to live active, fulfilling, and independent lives? Join Orbis Education & Care as a Support Worker at Ty Seren, where no two days are the same and the difference you make is truly life changing.
At Ty Seren, we support adults with complex needs associated with autism, using person-centred, sector-leading practice. Our approach blends care, education, and therapeutic support to create tailored placements that reflect each individual’s strengths, interests, and goals.
What the Role Is Really Like
As a Support Worker, much of your time will be spent helping individuals with everyday tasks and encouraging independence. Because our individuals enjoy getting out and about, driving is a key part of the role — whether that’s supporting trips into the community, attending activities, exploring the Welsh countryside, or enjoying days out that build confidence and life skills.
Some days will be active and fun — cooking together, going for walks, or supporting hobbies and interests. Other days will be more care-focused, providing personal care, supporting daily routines, and offering emotional reassurance. When challenges arise, you’ll be there with calm, compassion, and understanding, helping individuals feel safe, respected, and supported.
You’ll never be on your own — full training, ongoing guidance, and a supportive team are all part of your journey with Orbis.

Supporting adults with their physical, emotional, and social wellbeing
Driving and supporting individuals to access activities, appointments, and community outings
