We are currently recruiting for Team Leader Support Workers to support an individual with Autism, learning disability, ADHD and Prader Willi syndrome in Telford on a 2:1 basis. Please note we are not a recruitment agency. About the individual Hi! I am 24 and I have diagnoses of Prader Willi Syndrome, Autism, ADHD and learning difficulties. My behaviour has been described as challenging, although I think that sometimes people just see my difficulties and don’t work to understand me as a whole person. I can get anxious and frustrated when I find things difficult, but most importantly I am smiley, excitable, enthusiastic and loving. I have a great sense of humour and I enjoy making people laugh. I am extremely sociable; my family say that I have always made friends wherever I go, and manage to make everyone smile with my happy-go-lucky personality. I love the over-the-top glitz and glamour of show business: I enjoy talking about and going to see musicals, and my absolute favourite TV programme is Strictly Come Dancing (each year my dad takes me to the show’s live tour – this is the best night of my year!). I am happiest when singing or dancing, or when talking about my football team Manchester City. My family are really important to me, and I enjoy visits from my parents and sister, as well as extended family. My family have a dog who I love to talk about and cuddle with when he visits, and I also volunteer at a dog shelter where I enjoy walking the rescue dogs regularly with my staff. Day to day, I need to be kept busy, I like doing my dog walking, and I also enjoy youth clubs, discos, swimming, horse riding, going to the pub and bowling. I would like to look at more activities available for me and I need support workers who are enthusiastic to support me with these. My condition means that food is very important to me and my care, I need support workers that can keep boundaries with me around food to keep me safe. I do love cooking and every Sunday I cook a roast dinner for myself and staff – I like treating my staff and making them happy. I am very chatty and bubbly, and so my staff need to be able to give me the same energy back, and I love hugs.
