We have various contracts available (up to 39 hours per week) along with relief job opportunities too. Our relief contracts are great if you are looking for a more flexible role that fits around your routine.

The Role

There's never a dull moment here at Waterfront as the people we support enjoy getting out and about including attending college and other activities in the community along with swimming, boccia, going for walks and playing football.

Some of the people we support like some 1:1 time and going out for lunch, accessing the sensory room, listening and singing along to music and going to discos and parties.

As a Support Practitioner you'll be positive and proactive in identifying new opportunities for participation and inclusion, provide quality personal care and participate in household tasks as required.

The duties are varied, and no two days are the same.
Our picturesque Waterfront service is a specialist housing complex for individuals with autism and other complex support needs.

The service is comprised of five self-contained flats and other shared accommodation, which will be home for up to 11 individuals.

As a team, we focus on promoting and encouraging independence, enabling the people we support to live as independently as possible and to play an active role within their local community.

To be a great Support Practitioner we'll need you have the following qualities;

Great listener with great communication skills.
Caring attitude and approach.
Able to work as part of a team.
Positive approach to learning.
Always seek to go above and beyond what's expected.
