Based in Pishwanton Woods, before applying, please ensure the location is accessible to you without reliance on public transport. An opportunity has become available to join Seol Trust, Ruskin Mill Trust, as part of the committed day time support team focusing on the holistic needs of the participants. This role can be both physically and emotionally demanding, and you must have the confidence and patience to manage the challenging behaviours that the participants we work with can present.
You will be required to support and guide participants to access their programme of activities and to be aware of and promote their welfare during the day. The majority of the activities take place outside on our 60-acre site and include a wide range of physical tasks associated with horticulture, woodland and site management, animal husbandry, catering, and crafts. You will need to be prepared to work outdoors in all weathers.
This role may include working part of the week on a 1:1 with participants and the remainder of the week supporting other participants. This role can be extremely rewarding as you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals.
We strongly suggest writing answers to the application questions in a .doc / .pages file and saving on your own device before copying and pasting into the online form. This will ensure you have a back-up in case your application times out or is disrupted by connection issues.
