-------------------------------------------
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 be supporting 2 young men in their early 20s who love going out on their bikes, playing badminton, swimming, going to the cinema, baking and arts & crafts.
The people we support have autism, communication difficulties and can display behaviours of distress.
An active, outgoing & determined support worker with a positive attitude would be a wonderful match.
What will I be doing?
1. You will be supporting the young men to live their lives how they choose and to achieve their goals.
2. You’ll be involved in helping to increase their independent living skills, especially when getting involved around home.
3. One individual will require a lot of visuals to prepare for their activities.
4. You will be supporting the gentlemen with their personal care (varying degrees of independence), meal preparation, medication administration, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and laundry.
5. The young men can experience behaviours of distress at times, and whilst person-centred training will be provided, you will need to have some previous experience supporting people with complex behavioural needs to be a good match for their team.
