Are you an experienced Support Worker looking to make a difference? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
Who will I be supporting?
You will support 2 young men in their early 20s who enjoy cycling, badminton, swimming, cinema visits, baking, and arts & crafts.
The individuals have autism, communication difficulties, and may display behaviors of distress.
An active, outgoing, and positive attitude support worker would be ideal.
What will I be doing?
* Supporting the young men to live their lives according to their preferences and achieve their goals.
* Helping to increase their independent living skills, especially around the home.
* Using visuals to support one individual with activity preparation.
* Assisting with personal care (varying levels of independence), meal prep, medication, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and laundry.
* Supporting individuals during behaviors of distress; person-centered training will be provided, but previous experience with complex behavioral needs is preferred.
