Car Driver Essential
Opportunity to support a 23-year-old young man who has Down Syndrome, Autism, and learning disabilities. He is a very loving young man who is close with his family. He benefits greatly from having a structured and familiar weekly routine, with regular activities and opportunities to get out into the community – he loves rock music and going to see tribute bands, theatre shows, cinema, cooking, regular social groups, he loves dogs, his iPad, and spending time with others, whilst also appreciating quiet time.
He lives in his own home, where he currently receives 24-hour, round-the-clock care and support from a small dedicated team. He also has some 2:1 support in the community, allowing him to enjoy activities and maintain an active social life. We are looking for a kind, caring, patient, and reliable female Support Worker/Carer to join a small, friendly team providing care and support. All requirements and further information will be discussed at interview.
