About the role
We run six luxury lodges on our beautiful 77-acre farm in the County Durham countryside offering personalised short breaks and activities for young people and adults.
Working independently and as part of a team, you’ll support young people and adults to access a range of activities, both on site and in the community. Whatever their passions or goals, you’ll help them widen their experiences and develop their independence in a home-away-from-home environment.
About you
While we value experience, it is not essential to have previously worked in health and social care, or with autistic people. Our comprehensive induction, training and mentoring will give you all the skills and tools you need to thrive in your career.
All that we ask is that you are a good team player with a can-do attitude, drive and resilience for what can be a demanding role. You should be friendly and approachable with good communication skills, enabling you to build positive, trusting relationships with the adults in your care.
Our staff come from all walks of life, and bring their experiences, interests and skills – be that cooking, sports, the outdoors, art or crafts – with them to enrich adults’ lives. If you’re seeking a rewarding job and want to make a genuine difference, this is the role for you.
