We’re celebrating a brilliant milestone for James 💛
He’s been steadily building his confidence with PECS (a picture‑based way of communicating), and last week he used a picture to let staff know exactly what he wanted. Such a huge step in his communication journey!
James has worked so hard alongside the team, and we couldn’t be prouder of him. 🌟

Are you calm, compassionate, and confident working independently at night?

Responding calmly and effectively to any needs or incidents

Promoting independence while maintaining safety and wellbeing

Carrying out routine safety and environment checks

Maintaining accurate records and clear communication

Creating a calm, clean, and secure setting

Experience supporting individuals with autism in a care or support setting

A genuine understanding that autism is complex and individual

Confidence to work independently and stay alert during night shifts

A patient, reliable, and compassionate approach

Commitment to delivering outstanding person-centred care

Why Join Us?

✔ Meaningful, rewarding work
✔ Overtime opportunities at enhanced rate
✔ Supportive team environment
✔ Opportunity to develop and grow your skills

If you want a role where your presence truly matters — especially when others need reassurance the most — we’d love to hear from you.

At KAT, we’re proud of our diverse and caring community. Thank you to our staff for your continued kindness and support towards one another. Our culture of respect and understanding is strengthened when we recognise and value each other’s traditions, beliefs, and ways of observing important moments throughout the year.

To everyone observing Ramadan, we wish you Ramadan Mubarak — a peaceful and blessed month of reflection, connection and compassion. To those marking Ash Wednesday and entering the season of Lent, we wish you a meaningful period of reflection and preparation leading up to Easter.

Warm wishes to all who are observing in their own way 💚
