Offer description

This is an exciting moment for SuperCare as we open our new Learning Disabilities children's home in Ninfield. The young people you'll support have a range of needs, including autism, ADHD, ASC, non-verbal communication, epilepsy, Down syndrome and global developmental delay. They rely on patient, consistent adults who understand their routines, sensory needs, emotional regulation, and the importance of predictability. As a Day Coach (Support Worker), you'll be the steady, caring presence who helps them feel safe, understood, and supported through everyday tasks, challenges, and breakthroughs. What You'll Do As a Day Coach, you'll be immersed in their daily lives, supporting their routines, independence and well being: Support children with ASD, ADHD, ASC or GDD who may experience anxiety, dysregulation, meltdowns or difficulties with transitions. Encourage healthy routines such as waking, meals, personal care, structured activities and learning. Support non-verbal children using communication aids, symbols, visual schedules or alternative communication tools. Monitor and respond to medical needs, including epilepsy management and individual care plans. Help children build independence through tasks like cleaning rooms, organising belongings and washing clothes. Support emotional regulation with patience, gentleness and consistent strategies. Respond to incidents in a calm, child-centred and safe manner, following safeguarding procedures at all times. Drive young people to activities, school or appointments (full UK licence desired due to the remote location). What We're Looking For We want warm, resilient people who genuinely care about supporting children with learning disabilities: Experience supporting children or young people with autism, ADHD, ASC, non-verbal communication, epilepsy, Down syndrome or global developmental delay. Minimum 1 year experience in a residential childcare setting. Level 3 Diploma in Children's Residential Care (or willingness to complete). Confident supporting behaviours that challenge or moments of dysregulation. Patient, nurturing and able to stay calm when routines change or emotions run high. Comfortable guiding children through personal care, daily routines and independence-building. Able to use communication tools for children who are non-verbal or have limited speech. Full UK driving licence required. Benefits at SuperCare We recognise the importance of your work and invest in your development and wellbeing: Salary 20% above sector average. 36 days of in-person training every year. Fully funded Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management. Private healthcare and 24/7 GP access. Well being package and gym stipend. Pension scheme and bonus eligibility. Free parking and use of company vehicles. Clear progression route into Senior Day Coach roles. Next Steps If you're passionate about supporting children with learning disabilities and want to help shape a brand-new home from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
