Julian’s House is located in Stevenage Old Town, in Hertfordshire. It offers residential support for six males who are autistic. We are in a semi-residential road, within easy walking distance to the Old Town and industrial area.

Our team are dedicated to promoting independence and life skills to support the people we care for to live their lives to the fullest, as independently as possible. We want them to achieve their goals that they previously thought unachievable.

We are looking for compassionate and dedicated Support Workers to join our team and provide high-quality, person-centred support to individuals who use our services. This flexible role allows you to work on a bank basis while making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

As a Support Worker, you will provide direct support that promotes dignity, independence, and choice. You will work closely with individuals to help them live fulfilling lives, supporting them with daily activities and encouraging them to achieve their personal goals.

Support Workers play a vital role in helping people maintain their independence while ensuring their wellbeing and safety. The role can be both rewarding and challenging, so resilience, patience, and a caring nature are essential. No two days are the same, and your empathy and positive attitude will help individuals navigate both the highs and lows of daily life.

Your responsibilities may include supporting individuals with everyday tasks, promoting independence, encouraging social engagement, and providing emotional support.

• Ability to work flexibly and think innovatively.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commitment to upholding professional standards, policies, and procedures.
• Experience in care or support work (desirable, but not essential – training provided).

We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
