Castlelaw Cottage is a small but vibrant residential service for two young people with a learning disability, ASD and behaviours which challenge. Our newly renovated house is designed to support them in leading a fulfilling and active life, both at home and in the community. We appreciate their unique personality and strive to create a space where they can thrive and receive the support they need. Our young people are non-verbal but they communicate in their own ways and really thrive when supported by people who take the time to get to know them. They’re outdoorsy, active and love to be on the go, whether that’s heading out for walks, enjoying trips to the park or exploring new places. They enjoy family visits where they can spend time with parents and siblings too. They also benefit from a variety of indoor activities that help them to stay engaged, stimulated and happy.
You’ll be there to encourage their independence, help with personal care and support them to enjoy the things they love whilst providing a stable and consistent environment essential for their emotional wellbeing. This role is fast-paced and can be challenging but is also hugely rewarding and we love to celebrate the small victories as well as the big milestones.
We believe in offering flexibility to our staff by allowing them to choose between single or double shifts, with various shift patterns available to ensure a great work-life balance.
