About Autism Plus
Autism Plus are a leading Yorkshire Charity supporting adults and young people with autism, learning disabilities, mental health conditions and complex needs.

In 1986 the Charity was created by a group of parents looking for the very best support for their children who were about to leave a specialist school. Once they reached the age of 17, they found there was little or no support. The belief set by our founding parents, to empower more people to live independent, fulfilling lives remains our focus today.

We employ over 350 people across the north of England in care support services, employment support and social enterprise businesses.

About the Role:
Shifts Patterns: Monday- Friday 8am-4pm
Desired, but not Essential: Full, clean Driving Licence.

Autism Plus are looking for Support Workers who are emphatic and compassionate to provide person centred support to individuals with Autism, leaning disabilities and mental health conditions within our Day Service. The role is incredibly rewarding as you will support individuals to live as independently as possible, empower them to identify their goals, pursue interests and hobbies, support health and well-being, and to be a part of their local community.

Experience isn’t essential as we offer full training for the role. You must be able to commit to a fully paid, full time 3-week induction.

Key Responsibilities:

  • To assist individuals in the Day Service or in the community, in accordance with Care Plans, and assess their skills and needs.

  • Plan and host group sessions such as arts and crafts, music and drama.

  • Supporting individuals to pursue hobbies, interests, leisure activities and new skills, enabling them to integrate within the local community.

  • Provide practical support for individuals such as helping with tasks including cooking, personal care and paperwork.

  • Provide emotional support to individuals by talking to them and listening to their problems and concerns.

  • Understanding their communication needs and adapting communication to each individual.

  • To offer unconditional positive regard to individuals, to respect right to privacy and to ensure that their dignity is maintained at all times.

  • Assist in planning and pursuing agreed strategies to support and alleviate behaviour that presents challenge.

  • Supporting and monitoring their healthcare needs, including administering medication, where applicable.

We are looking for individuals who are:

  • Empathetic, observant, and resilient.

  • Compassionate and can appreciate the frustration, confusion and upset individuals may experience.

  • Take pride in doing a great job.

  • Enjoy helping others.

  • Happy assisting with duties such as cooking, providing personal care, attending appointments and social activities.

  • Able to communicate clearly and sensitively and remain calm when handling potentially difficult situations.

  • Able to communicate clearly and sensitively with vulnerable people and their families, and always adopt a person-centred approach.

What we offer:

20% discount at our Chocolate Factory in Knaresborough

BUPA Health Cash Plan Scheme

Access to the Blue Light Discount Card

ReferaFriend cash reward scheme

GloSave access (financial wellbeing & savings support)

Company pension scheme

Employee Assistance Programme

Mileage reimbursement for business travel

Ongoing training and continuous professional development

A genuinely rewarding and meaningful role where you will see the impact of your work every day
