Make a Real Difference Every Day

At SDR Care, we are launching a brand-new, highly personalised support service for an individual with autism, ADHD, a learning disability, and complex emotional needs.

We are looking for calm, consistent, and compassionate people who want to help someone build independence, confidence, and a meaningful daily life.

This is not a generic care role — it is a small, highly focused, person-centred service where relationships, consistency, and positive support truly matter.

If you are patient, resilient, and genuinely passionate about improving lives, this could be an incredibly rewarding opportunity.

About the Role

You will be supporting a young person to access their community, build routines, and enjoy meaningful daily experiences.

Activities include:

• Cinema trips and sensory-friendly outings
• Beach walks, forest walks, climbing and outdoor activities
• Theme parks, social outings, and structured day trips
• Creative play, projects, and engagement activities
• Supporting independence, life skills, and daily routines
• Safe community access and travel support

Every day is different — and shaped around the individual’s needs, interests, and goals.
