First City are looking for confident and compassionate individuals to join the team.
Full specialist training is provided for all successful applicants, whether you have experience in care, supporting individuals with Autism, or no prior experience at all.
We are seeking candidates who are naturally passionate about care, reliable, take pride in their role, and are committed to promoting independence.
You will work as part of a team, following an outcome-based support plan under the guidance of management.

About the Role

Supporting her to access a variety of activities is essential.
Her safety is always the top priority.
At times, this may involve physical intervention to keep her safe, so the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team is crucial, as her behaviours can be unpredictable.

While seizures are not always frequent, there can be periods of seizure activity which may require rescue medication.
You will need to be attentive and responsive to her needs
Communication is key, she uses unique signs and understanding this is essential for building trust.

Some prompting or direct support may be required.
The team prepares meals for safety reasons, though she enjoys being involved in meal preparation.
Maintaining her home environment is also an important part of the role.
While this is an established team, her needs are evolving.
Therefore, we are looking for adaptable individuals who can respond to change.

Support visits vary depending on individual needs.
Alongside care, we also provide domestic support, shopping services, and carer relief.
Each Hub also has a Day Centre, where individuals attend to socialise, enjoy meals, and participate in activities.
