Southhouse Autism Unit Support Workers
Full time & Part time contracts available
Southhouse Autism Unit supports 3 people across 2 flats both situated within the same cul-de-sac. The supported people at this service are very active, enjoying activities like football and going on the trampoline. The focus at this service is working with our supported people to get them out into the community and helping them to develop their life skills.
Shifts at Southhouse Autism Unit are usually 10 or 12 hours. These longer shifts allow you to work your hours over fewer days giving you more days off.
Please note that these roles all include sleepover shifts. A sleepover shift consists of working 10am - 11pm, sleeping over in the service from 11pm - 7am and then working in the morning from 7am - 10:30.
