Do you want to change lives, whilst also having the opportunity to build a rewarding career?

We are working with and supporting a wonderful school in Cranleigh set on a beautiful 23 acre site in a semi-rural area on the edge of the Surrey Hills (own transport is desirable)

They are looking for dedicated care workers to join their team on a permanent basis. You will support young people with complex learning disabilities, severe social communication and behavioural issues. This role gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to their lives. With your compassion, guidance and training, you will watch them grow, develop and support them towards adulthood. The care team supports their young people outside of school hours and also provides cover in the classroom enabling our education staff to take their breaks. You will support the students to develop their life skills; assisting with their personal care, choosing and preparing their meals, shopping, money handling and accompanying activities on and off site. During the school holidays their young people really enjoy trips off site, fully supported by their team.

Over the summer the team have been busy, including trips to the beach and funfair, adventure parks, meals out, inclusive cycling sessions and Airhop. You will have the ongoing support of a skilled and dedicated team. Comprehensive training and mentoring includes learning about safeguarding, autism and positive behaviour support. We will equip you with the skills and confidence to support their young people, offer them boundaries and choices and provide safe and effective physical intervention when needed.

  • You need empathy, enthusiasm, compassion, mental, physical and emotional resilience and the drive to make a real difference to the lives of the most complex children and vulnerable young people.
