Cian is a vibrant individual who enjoys an active lifestyle and thrives on engaging experiences. He is predominantly non-verbal, fully mobile, and requires support to stay safe due to a lack of danger awareness. You’ll be his guide, advocate and helping hand as he navigates both new and familiar spaces.

• Attending social and leisure activities like:
o Swing parks, swimming, library visits, art, horse riding, outdoor play (muddy fun included!)
o Sensory experiences, music, and trips to cafés
• Ensuring Cian’s safety in all environments
• Offering hand-over-hand guidance and helping him grow confidence with new tasks or settings
What We’re Looking For:
• Experience working with complex autism is essential
o This could be in schools, bases, community settings or previous support roles
• A driver with access to your own vehicle (mileage paid)
• Someone active, creative, patient – with a good sense of humour
• A warm, friendly, and supportive nature is key
• Able to join in physical activities and think on your feet
