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-minded 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.
