About Me
Hi, I am looking for support in my new home in Whitfield, Dover. I am a man with autism, epilepsy, and sometimes challenging behaviour. I enjoy going out daily but can feel anxious when things are unpredictable or unfamiliar. I am fun to be with and want team members who care and support me in daily activities like eating healthily, staying active, and learning new skills. I have unique ways of doing things, which my team will learn to support.
I love visiting parks, countryside walks, and going out for cake! I enjoy foot massages to relax and stay calm.
I cannot speak but communicate via a picture system. Learning my language will be fun and rewarding.
I need a predictable, structured routine.
Full training and induction will be provided, with initial shifts alongside my Team Leader to get to know each other.
Shift Patterns
This is a 24-hour service requiring flexibility, including nights and some weekends.
