Type of vacancy: Employed
May Group Co-Worker x 2
Salary £20,637 rising annually to £22,232
Full-time hours 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday
We are seeking 2 new Full-Time staff members who share our values and have the experience and skills to support adults with learning disabilities on a one-to-one basis to participate in meaningful work within our day service.
The posts are based in The May group which is the hub for general arts, crafts and therapeutic activities. Together with our members with learning disabilities we aim to produce unique items for our annual fairs and for our community. Our work mainly focuses on weaving, felting and papercraft. We value and often focus on crafts around seasonal changes and preparation for specific festivals.
Ideally you would have an interest in one of the craft areas, however this is not essential. What is more important is the capacity to work positively with individuals with autism and complex needs. You will need to have an ability to facilitate an individual to participate in a meaningful way.
Previous experience of working with adults with learning disabilities is essential, as is a good understanding of autism and the needs of people who use different forms of communication and a confidence in working with people with behaviour that challenges.
Tiphereth is a Camphill community based on the edge of the Pentland hills in Edinburgh supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism in a range of day services, supported living, residential care, and social enterprises.

Closing date for applications is 12pm on Sunday 26th June 2022. Interviews are to be held the following week.
Successful candidates will be required to be members of the PVG scheme and to register with the Scottish Social Services Council.
