Support Worker

Orbis Education and Care is here to work with young adults who have had a formal diagnosis of an Autistic Spectrum Condition. We offer flexible, family friendly services and we make it an absolute priority that each and every young adult who walks through our doors feels welcome, cared for, safe and happy. Something we could never do without the people who work for us.

We are currently recruiting for Support Workers to be part of the team at The Old Vicarage. The Old Vicarage is a specialist residential service for young adults aged 18-64 with Autistic Spectrum Condition. We offer a unique environment for our young adults to develop and reach their full potential. The Old Vicarage is situated in Marshfield, just outside of both Newport and Cardiff.   

The role will require you to support young adults in a range of activities on site at The Old Vicarage as well as in the community, ensuring that all duties are carried out to a high standard. You will also be required to provide excellent team work and support to fellow team members and the registered manager. The Old Vicarage will pride itself on being able to promote the rights of the young adults in our care, by providing outstanding therapeutic and personal care in their residences and in the wider community. In doing so you will be required to give written reports on a daily basis, and be involved in the development and implementations of placement and support plans as part of the key working groups.

Whilst it would be desirable for applicants to have their NVQ/QCF Level 2 / 3 in Health and Social Care it is not essential. Experience within the healthcare sector would also be desirable but not essential. In return we provide you with a competitive salary, range of benefits, on-going training and development plus career progression. The successful applicant must have a full UK / Euro driving licence.
