Care and Education Support Worker

The young adults aged 16-25 years that learn with us as day students have big personalities and even bigger ambitions to make the most of their education so that they can live as independently as possible.

Our committed staff team put students first in everything that they do, being proactive, dynamic and collaborative for the benefit of the learners, whatever their ability.

As a Care and Education Support Worker you will provide personal care as well as assisting students with their learning in the classroom, on trips into Hereford or in life skills sessions in our large, airy kitchen and outdoor learning space.

Experience of working with people with learning and/or physical disabilities in either a care or teaching assistant role is desirable but equally important is enthusiasm, professionalism and a strong work ethic, as well as being able to demonstrate a positive attitude towards the aspirations of our students. You will be a self-starter who can use your own initiative, be able to manage change and show resilience when things don't go to plan.

In return we offer excellent training and development opportunities and support for you to develop your long-term career with us.

You will work 41 hours per week during term time (39 weeks per year) and need to be available between 8.00am - 4:00 pm (5pm on Thursdays for team meeting) Monday to Friday.

Please note that we will conduct interviews during the course of the advertisement and may close the vacancy if a suitable candidate is appointed - please apply early.
