  • £20,637 – £22,232
  • Edinburgh
  • Closing 8th January 2023

Role

We are seeking a Full-Time staff member who shares our values and has the experience and skills to support adults with learning disabilities on a one-to-one basis to participate in meaningful work within our day service.

The post will be based in one of the day service groups which are a hub for general arts, crafts, gardening, estates work and therapeutic activities. Together with our members with learning disabilities we aim to produce unique items for our annual fairs and services for our community. We value and often focus on crafts and activities around seasonal changes and preparation for specific festivals.

Ideally you would have an interest in one of the craft, gardening or estates areas, however this is not essential. What is more important is the capacity to work positively with individuals with autism and complex needs. You will need to have an ability to facilitate an individual to participate in a meaningful way.

Previous experience of working with adults with learning disabilities is essential, as is a good understanding of autism and the needs of people who use different forms of communication and a confidence in working with people with behaviour that challenges.

Tiphereth is a Camphill community based on the edge of the Pentland hills in Edinburgh supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism in a range of day services, supported living, residential care, and social enterprises.
