A new and exciting Part Time ( fixed term ) opportunity has arisen within the WorkAid team.

We are looking to recruit a Job Coach to work with an employer at the Burgess Hill Industrial Estate. The role will be to support a young 18-year-old male with William Syndrome, who is keen to maximise his potential in his new Warehouse Assistant role.

Working alongside the customer, you will learn the role together, and then provide ongoing mentoring to the customer: always encouraging and promoting independence. Due to the customer’s abilities, he will need regular prompting, and at times physical support for him to carry out his responsibilities. As well as working with the customer you will frequently liaise with the Warehouse Manager.

The position is for 15 hours a week (Monday – Friday) but hours are negotiable for the right candidate as it is imperative to get the right person to fit the needs of the customer. The role, through Access to Work is funded until February 2027, but with scope to continue if the support is required ongoing
