The Vacancy
he position is in a large house and 1 bedroom flat in Risby where we support gentlemen who are on the autistic spectrum and can present some behaviours that challenge. These men are active and like to walk so staff need to be willing to put the steps in each day. Driving is essential not only to get to work, as public transport does not meet the times of the shifts, but the men all have their own cars to enable to get out and about these cars are manual. We need staff who are willing help the men try and new things and take part in activities. Each gentleman requires 1-1 support and some 2-1 when going out. We have 1 wake in night staff.
We need staff who are flexible and passionate about caring for people and helping them live as independently as possible while keeping them safe.

Testimonials
“It’s hard to put into words what has motivated me to stay at FitzRoy for 50 years. I love working with the people we support, it really is all down to them. The connection you make with them and the difference you are making is the real delight of the job.”
“You don’t become a support worker unless you want to help people and make a difference to someone’s life. That’s what made me want to do this job – I have always been a caring person and I wanted to help give people with learning disabilities a voice.”
“FitzRoy is such an incredible place to work, everyone really cares about the people we support. I am genuinely passionate about improving their quality of life, and when you see the people we support achieving a goal I feel immense job satisfaction.”
