I am a young man in my 20’s with severe learning difficulties who has a diagnosis of autism with associated anxiety, behaviours that can challenge and epilepsy. I live at home with my parents and family pets (dog and cat, both hypoallergenic breeds).

I have an infectious smile and giggle and enjoy listening to music and sensory activities.

I am looking for support workers to support me with my care needs on a 2:1 basis for 1-2 days a week and to help me engage in activities I enjoy, mainly within the home, but looking to going out for activities in the longer term. They would also be required to administer medication.

Experience of dealing with challenging behaviour and Autism is essential. Experience of learning difficulties, mental health and epilepsy is desirable but not essential to those eager to learn as training will be given.
