Galashiels, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Encompass Full time
I am a young man in my late 20's and I live in Galashiels.

I am currently living with my parents, and am looking for a support worker to spend up to 6 hours social time with me over two or three days a week.

I really enjoy being outdoors, going for walks and drives. I would really like someone who is able to take me fishing too. Due to my autism, I need reassurance and guidance with decision making and social skills.

I can become anxious, or not understand the processes involved with a task so need someone who is appreciative of the need to be clear and patient with me.

I am hoping to move into my own home very soon, and would like you to support me with settling in.

Willingness to spend time outdoors, going for drives and long walks, having coffee and going fishing;

  • Supporting me with daily decision making, and ensuring I understand the processes and consequences of my choices;
  • Assisting me with any other tasks which aid me to live as independently as I can.

Skills/Experience:

  • You will be cheerful and selfmotivated with a good sense of humour;
  • You will be honest, reliable and able to maintain confidentiality;
  • You will be supportive and sensitive to the issues having autism can bring;
  • Ideally you will have access to your own vehicle, with appropriate insurance in place.

Hours of Work:

  • Up to 6 hours per week, split over 2 or 3 days;

Rate of Pay:

- £11.50 per hour;

  • 5.6 weeks Annual Leave entitlement, calculated on a pro rata basis.
