• Autism

What will your shift involve?

You will provide high-quality care on a 2:1 basis, ensuring compassionate and tailored support. Responsibilities include engaging in meaningful activities, taking the individual out into the community, supporting household tasks, and maintaining a comfortable, organized living environment. Clear communication in their preferred manner is essential to build trust.
