About the role
Hi, I am looking for people to support me in my new home in the local community in Whitfield, Dover. I am a man who experiences autism, epilepsy and sometimes may display behaviour described as challenging. I enjoy going out and about every day, but I can get anxious when I don’t know what is happening, something annoys me, or if I don’t understand what is going on. I am lots of fun to be with and want people to work with me who care about me and are dedicated to supporting me to do everyday things like eating healthily, keeping fit and learning new skills. I have my own ways of doing things, which the rest of my team will help you learn, and if you’re the right person, we’ll get on great!
