Hiring! ⭐ We're looking for Autism Support Workers to join our fantastic team in Worksop.

This is a role where two days will never be the same, where you'll be supporting autistic people to develop independent living skills, manage anxieties and live life to the fullest.

🫧 Like Lee, who's been learning to do laundry and volunteers to wash everyone's clothes!

💃 Or Mariah, who loves respite because it gives her space to practice her dancing!

We love our work; and we want people who will love it too. Who want a world that values and supports autistic people. Could that be you?

Yum! 💜 If you know our Sherwood Centre, you'll know our service users love growing their own roots and vegetables.

Recently, we took this a step further and set to the task of pickling our own beetroot.

The joy of creating something from scratch is something that constantly radiates through the centre, with new projects in woodworking, the kitchen and the garden cropping up all the time.

One reason we love what we do 💖
