Support People to Live Life Their Way – Join the Team at JTC!

At Jean Todd Close, we’re proud to offer 24/7 supported living for adults with intellectual disabilities, autism, and complex needs, including those with mental health support requirements and behaviours that challenge.

This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to build genuine relationships, develop a huge range of care and support skills, and make a difference in the everyday lives of people who call JTC home.

What Makes Jean Todd Close Special?

Located in Antrim, JTC is made up of four shared flats, two double bungalows, and seven individual homes. It’s a calm, community-focused setting, where each person has chosen to live and build their lives, and where long-standing staff bring experience, warmth, and a welcoming vibe.

At JTC, you’re not driving from house to house—you’re based in one place, meaning more time to connect, support, and care. Some of the meaningful things we support people with include:

✅ Building independence through daily routines

✅ Providing personal care and hands-on support where needed

✅ Creating structure and calm through Positive Behaviour Support

✅ Planning activities, helping people attend medical appointments, social outings, and community events

✅ Helping people pursue their hobbies and take part in things that matter to them

We’re located just a stone’s throw from Junction One, Antrim Castle Gardens, and the local flower shows and parades—so there are loads of opportunities for fun, fresh air, and connection.

What Does the Role Involve?

As a Support Worker, you will:

🔹 Support people with a range of needs—from light touch to more complex care

🔹 Deliver hands-on personal care where required, with dignity and respect

🔹 Build strong relationships based on trust, understanding, and compassion

🔹 Work closely with your team, Team Leaders, and wider professionals (GPs, social workers, families)

🔹 Be part of a stable, experienced, and supportive team

What We Offer:

💡 Structured two-week induction and shadowing across all houses to help you feel confident and prepared

📈 Career progression – with clear pathways from Support Worker to Team Leader and beyond

🧠 CPI (Nonviolent Crisis Intervention) and specialist training to build your skills and confidence

🤝 Support from experienced colleagues—many of whom have been here 7 years or more!

Why Join JTC?

🏡 You’re not on the road—everything happens on-site, giving you more quality time with the people you support

🌱 You’ll gain a wealth of experience across the full spectrum of support, from communication skills to complex behavioural support

💬 You’ll be surrounded by a team who genuinely care, not just about their work, but about each other

💛 As John, our Service Manager says: “We might not be putting a man on the moon but we are making a real difference every day—and you’ll skip home because of it.”
