About the role
As a Project Worker, you will be part of an enthusiastic and creative team who provide daily support to adults with learning disabilities and autism as they participate in workshop activities of their choosing within our site-based services, and café sites.
For this role, we are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with skills and expertise in art, IT, music, drama, dance, photography, gardening, and outdoor activities. Or, if you have any other skills, let us know! We have recently moved our Outdoor Learning activates to a new site at Inch Nursery, and so we are looking to expand our pool of Project Worker staff that have an active interest in covering these activities.
This role includes supporting students on a 1:1 basis, facilitating workshops, and supporting people with personal care, as and when required.
While previous experience in care or support is highly advantageous, it is not required as we provide full training and ongoing support to our staff team.
To apply, submit your completed application form and equal opportunities form to hr@upmo.org.
