This is a great opportunity to make a positive di4erence to a young person’s life and to develop your skills as part of a small, professional team.
About my life
I am a fun-loving autistic young adult with complex needs. I require 2:1 support from my care team to help me feel safe and supported, so that I can fulfil my potential. With the right support I am funny, caring and sociable.
My week involves three days of education and four days of activities. This includes a day at social care, and two half-days at work placement. My preferred activities include seeing my friends, going to the football, bowling, dancing, and watching theatre shows. I like listening to music, playing Uno, writing, and eating out. I can be persuaded to walk my dogs.
My health needs combine to mean that I struggle to communicate and can dysregulate very quickly. I can then display behaviours of distress. My carers need to be able to respond calmly and compassionately and follow my Positive Behaviour Support Plan.
