MEET THE TEAM:

River Drive is a unique purpose built service that is split over 2 floors, Currently supporting 3 adults with autism, 1 who lives within the supported living flat and the other 2 having their own rooms and share the communal space.
Our residents participate in a wide range of activities, they enjoy going on trips to the theatre, visiting local wildlife parks to feed the ducks, and going for a drive to the coast to enjoy tea by the sea.
We are looking for a specialist support worker that believes that everyone has the right to be involved in all aspects of their lives, and can support and encourage people to take an active part in all that they do.
The specialist staff team in situ are looking forward to welcoming a new colleague and have suggested we let you know that they love a good catch up together over coffee and, are hoping to plan a relaxing team visit to a spa very soon!
