Job description:

Support Worker for Deaf Client Doncaster

Location: Doncaster Job Type: Permanent and Bank Hours of work: Full time, Part Time Available Salary: £13.45 – £15.85 per hour

Support Worker – Doncaster

Our services have been rated Outstanding by the CQC.

We're looking for a dedicated Support Worker to provide personalised support to a young man living in Doncaster. This is a fantastic opportunity to build a meaningful working relationship and make a real difference to someone's daily life.

About the Person You'll Support

You'll be working with an easy-going 19-year-old BSL user who is Deaf. He loves football, arts and crafts, gaming, walks, and trips out in the minibus on countryside routes. He thrives on routine, likes to plan his own week, and enjoys being busy – so you'll need to be someone who can keep things structured and engaging.

He is Autistic, and communication is primarily through BSL and body language. He can be unsettled by sudden changes to routine or unexpected physical contact, so a calm, predictable approach is essential. When he needs time to decompress, space to process and walks help him most.

Your Role Will Include

• Personal care and support with daily routines

• Medication prompting and administration

• Meal preparation and nutrition support

• Community access and social support

• Travel support and household tasks

• Sensory and learning/routine support

• Implementing and working within a PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) plan

• Building a warm, consistent, and trusted relationship

What Makes a Great Match

The ideal candidate will be calm, structured, and experienced in supporting young adults with Autism and learning disabilities. BSL skills and Deaf awareness are essential, and experience with PBS approaches is highly valued. A full valid UK driving licence is required. You'll understand the importance of routine and consistency, and be someone who genuinely enjoys keeping things active and engaging.
