Support Worker Role at FitzRoy Supported Living Services
FitzRoy Supported Living Services in Bury St Edmunds provides care and support for residents with learning difficulties and autism. We are seeking exceptional new support workers to join our friendly team. Could this be you?
Location and Environment
The position is based in a large house and a one-bedroom flat in Risby. We support gentlemen on the autistic spectrum who may exhibit challenging behaviors. These men are active and enjoy walking, so staff need to be willing to participate in daily activities.

* Provide 1-1 support to each gentleman, with some 2-1 support during outings.
* Assist residents in trying new activities and participating in a variety of interests to promote independence and well-being.
* Support residents with personal care, domestic tasks, and engaging in activities that foster a healthy lifestyle.
* Support night-time and morning routines, including personal care and responding promptly to needs during night shifts.
* Carry out cleaning duties and complete necessary paperwork.
Person Specification
We need staff who are flexible, passionate about caring for people, and committed to helping residents live as independently as possible while ensuring their safety. A full driving license and willingness to drive accessible vehicles are essential.
Shift Patterns
* Day shifts: 0700 to 1430 and 1400 to 2200. Availability for both shifts and weekends is required.
* Night shifts: 2100 to 0700.
