About Us

We specialise in supporting people who have learning disabilities or autism, who may also have sight loss, to live ambitious lives and achieve things they never thought possible. Whether that is forming more friendships and relationships, enjoying new experiences and activities or finding employment.

Bicester Support Service provides supported living services for adults who have learning disabilities or who are autistic.

We provide support for up to 11 people living within two supported living schemes (six self-contained properties and a shared four bedroom house, with a self-contained annexe) in Bicester and Southmoor near Abingdon. This service is specifically designed to support people who have learning disabilities or who are autistic to live and engage in their local community, as part of the ‘transforming care agenda’.

We aim to excel as a specialist provider of quality care and support, ensuring the people we support are at the heart of everything we do.

As part of your role, your duties will include:

  • Building positive relationships with the people we support and their families.
  • Working alongside our existing team, offering a diverse range of exciting and varied activities.
  • Supporting with day to day living tasks such as housekeeping, cooking, cleaning and personal care.
  • Completing paperwork, incident reports and handovers between staff.

About you

To be considered for the role, you will need to:

  • Be patient and calm under pressure as well as be sociable, caring and supportive
  • A passion for genuinely wanting to help the people we support to live their best lives.
  • Be able to engage, listen and communicate in a variety of ways and demonstrate emotional resilience.
  • Always reflect our values of being creative, brave, passionate and to do what is right.
