We're looking for Community Support Workers across multiple regions of Derbyshire, including Chesterfield, Derby, Ripley and Swadlincote.
Our Community Support Workers support autistic individuals in their local communities.
This could include:
⭐ Spending time at their local cafe
⭐ Attending regular group activities
⭐ Assisting with their weekly shop
We're looking for caring people who can help create a sense of calm with people who may struggle with aspects of being out-and-about.
Full training is given when you start, so don't worry if you don't have experience in a similar role. We're more interested in people who are passionate and want to support others.
