Support Worker (2:1 Autism Support – Community & Home Based)

We are looking for calm, reliable and emotionally intelligent Support Worker to join a small, consistent team supporting a young person with autism in the home and community.

This is a 2:1 support package, and the focus is on building trust, maintaining routine, and supporting emotional regulation in a safe and respectful way.

About the role
You will be supporting a young person who experiences difficulties with communication, transitions and managing emotions. At times, this can lead to behaviours that challenge, including self-injury and physical behaviours towards others.

Your role will not be to “control behaviour”, but to understand it, reduce triggers, and support the young person to feel safe and regulated.

Support will initially take place at home, with a gradual introduction to community activities once a trusting relationship has been built.
