Columcille is a creative day support service which offers a wide range of activities for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs. Activities include gardening, cooking, pottery, arts and crafts, drama, music, dancing, and woodwork. Our approach values the uniqueness and gifts of each person and supports people to develop their creative skills and do meaningful work and activities in a friendly community setting. Columcille is based on the principles of social therapy which originate in the thinking of Rudolf Steiner.
We are looking to recruit a full-time Support Worker to provide person-centred support to adults with learning disabilities to participate in creative workshops and activities.
The role will provide support to service users to learn new skills, develop socially, and achieve positive outcomes. You will provide 1-1 support to individuals within the centre and the wider community, including supporting individuals with complex needs, for example epilepsy, autism, mobility difficulties, as well as personal care. It is also anticipated that the role holder will be one of a small team of staff who support our dance group one afternoon.
Experience of supporting adults with learning disabilities is essential.
