Looking for a Support Role That’s Full of Heart (and a Bit of Quirk)? Meet Me!

Hi! I’m a young man with autism, and I’m searching for someone kind, calm, and funny to support me. If you love a good laugh and have a curious mind, we might just be a perfect match.

I’m passionate about all things quirky — snakes, tarantulas, fossils, animal skulls, and Lego. My world is unique, and I’d love to share it with someone who’s open‑mind and genuinely interested. Trust takes time, but once it’s there, you’ll see the fun, vibrant side of me shine.

What I’m Looking For:

• Consistency & Compassion – Especially on tough days, I need someone who’s calm and non-judgmental.
• Patience & Positivity – A steady presence helps me feel safe and supported.
• Respect for My Interests – Whether it’s chatting about fossils or caring for my pets, enthusiasm is key.
• A Great Sense of Humour – If you can laugh with me, you’re already halfway there.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to build a real connection and help someone live life to the fullest.

Essentials:

To be considered, you’ll need experience in at least two of the following:

• Mental Health
• Behaviours that Challenge
• Trauma-Informed Care
• Autism & Learning Disabilities
• Resilience

About You:

You’re calm, caring, and thrive in challenging situations. You take initiative, stay positive, and genuinely want to make a difference. A manual UK driving licence and confidence driving different vehicles is a big plus!

How Will You Make a Difference?

As a Support Worker, you’ll help people live fuller, more independent lives by:

• Supporting daily routines from morning to bedtime
• Planning and enjoying person‑centred activities
• Building trusted, respectful relationships that support confidence and wellbeing
• Keeping clear and accurate records
• Working closely with colleagues and professionals

This is a role where building strong relationships is just as important as providing practical support.
