A young man in the Morpeth area is looking to recruit an enabler to support him accessing his local community. The young man has a diagnosis of ADHD, Asperger's, and Chronic Fatigue.

Both he and his family are looking for carers who understand the necessity of taking a person-centered approach to all activities this young man chooses to engage in. This will require a special set of skills as this young man can be very vulnerable; therefore, gaining his trust is a priority.

The young man enjoys going to the cinema, theatre, shopping, bowling, swimming, gaming, and short walks/going to the gym and accessing his local community.

Hours of Work:

4 hours a week - Days and times to be discussed at interview.

Location:

Morpeth area.

Main Duties:

1. Acting as a 'support buddy', encouraging his interests which include the above.

3. He will require someone two days a week for a total of 4 hours, but he will initially need to be seen in the home so he can gain confidence in developing a relationship.
