Do you value routine, structure and helping others feel safe and confident?

This is a physical, hands‑on role for someone who is experienced in supporting people that may demonstrate challenging behaviour, and to succeed you’ll have:

• Good spoken and written English

If you genuinely care about people, we can teach you the rest.

Who You’ll Be Supporting

The gentleman supported by SeeAbility in his own home, is looking for resilient, patient, and non-judgemental individuals to help him live life to the fullest. He loves being out in the community—whether it’s swimming, visiting the zoo, enjoying local events, or relaxing at a coffee shop or pub. At home, he enjoys jigsaw puzzles, crafting, and creating art from magazines.

He has autism and mild learning disabilities, and while his behaviour can sometimes be physically challenging, he’s seeking someone dependable and compassionate who’s ready to make a real difference.

If you’re compassionate, resilient, and ready to learn, this is your moment. It’s hands-on, it’s heart-led, and yes — it’s brilliant.
