Driver Preferred

Do you have a passion for making a difference? Join our dedicated team at Strawberry Lane and support three gentlemen living in a supported living environment, helping them live full, meaningful, and independent lives.

About the Role

As an Experienced Support Worker, you’ll empower individuals to make their own choices, reach their goals, and live as independently as possible. You’ll provide compassionate, person‑centred support that promotes dignity, respect, and choice every step of the way.

Your role will include supporting with:

• Day‑to‑day living tasks
• Personal care
• Medication administration
• Social integration and community activities
• Hobbies, interests, and fun themed events
• Attending appointments
• Building positive relationships and supporting emotional wellbeing

Our Strawberry Lane service supports three gentlemen with varying levels of autism, requiring patience, understanding, and strong observation skills. The environment can be intense, so this role suits someone who can remain calm, attentive, and confident assessing risks in the moment.

You’ll also be comfortable working independently during parts of the shift.

Experience with autism and/or relevant qualifications (e.g. NVQ) are preferred — but not essential. We’ll provide full accredited training, and we can support you to complete your NVQ.
