    Are you able to keep calm in a crisis, be proactive in your approach, and be resilient to behaviours that challenge?

    Can you encourage, reassure, and promote independence, fulfilling the lives of the people you support?

  • Demonstrable experience or knowledge supporting a person with autism.
  • Demonstrable experience and knowledge of positive behaviour support and behaviours that can challenge.
  • Hold the right to work in the UK.

    • Who will you be supporting?

    Located in a lovely part of Seaford, East Sussex, Applewood is close to the town centre and its local shops and cafés. Eastbourne, Lewes, and Brighton are nearby, with good public transport, so it's easy to explore the local countryside and coast. Applewood is a residential home for 5 adults who are young at heart with a range of disabilities. 

    You will be part of an inclusive, supportive team that works well together. You will provide support to people with autism, learning disabilities, mental health conditions and visual impairments. You will use your knowledge and skills to support people lead a valued and fulfilled life.

    It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience, and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve; being able to do something today that they couldn't do last week because of you.
