About the Role
Would you like to work somewhere where you get to make a real difference every day? Are you caring, fun and up for a challenge? Do you have experience supporting adults with autism? Are you looking for a career where you get to make a difference to people’s lives? Do you love the idea of no two days being the same? If so, we want to hear from you.
Advance is looking for Casual Support Workers in Newham, E13 to support customers with learning disabilities, autism, complex needs, and mental health conditions to live the lives they choose. We offer great benefits, flexible working, and all the training and support you need to kick start a rewarding career in Social Care.
You must have a full UK driving licence as this customer has their own vehicle to access the community.

Responsibilities include:
- Assisting with personal care and hygiene (if required)
- Medication administration (if required)
- Support with preparing and cooking meals
- Support with attending medical appointments
- Support with social activities
- Support with independent skills
- Support with domestic duties such as cleaning and laundry
- Keeping accurate records and updating care plans as required
- Keeping up to date with your training
- Ensuring the premises are secure and safe during the night
- Supporting with meal times and food preparation (if required)
- Supporting with regular checks on the customer to ensure their safety

Advance is a great place to progress too; many of our Support Workers have gone on to be managers, and some have moved into roles in other areas of our business. Once you’re with us, there are genuine opportunities to learn, develop and build a long and rewarding career. Equally, there is the chance to work flexibly, fitting your role around your other life commitments.

Experience
Ideally, experience supporting adults with autism. However, if you’re new to care, what matters most are your values—your passion, empathy, and determination to make a positive difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities.

About you
- Good at working independently and within a team
- Excellent communication skills
- Able to complete quality support records
- Able to work bank holidays and possible waking-night shifts
- Ability to follow a Support Plan and Risk Assessments and maintain customer records
- Literate and numerate in English
- Willingness and ability to achieve the Care Certificate

Qualifications
No formal qualifications required, but a full UK driving licence is essential due to community access requirements.
