Overview

Orchardville is a voluntary organisation and registered charity that supports young people and adults with learning disability or autism to live, learn and work. Established in 1982 we offer high quality day opportunity and employment services to over 600 participants each year who attend services in Belfast, North Down, Lisburn and Derry/ Londonderry. The work we do is life changing for participants, enabling them to lead independent lives, gain employment and become fully included in their community.

You will work intensively with participants who primarily have a learning disability or autism to support them to prepare for employment, secure a job and provide initial support in the workplace. This includes developing personal action plans, job searching sessions, developing CVs and preparation for interviews. You will also work directly with employers to identify opportunities and to support your participants in the workplace.
