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?

Teamwork! ⭐
After a fun day at bowling, the people we support at our Sherwood day service wanted to put their heads together and help out around the centre.
In the end, they decided to help wash the mini-bus, giving it a good ol' clean! 🫧
