Experience of working with individuals who have autism and a knowledge of positive behaviour approaches to support are all desirable but not essential.

The services support people within their own tenancies in the community and provides care and support in a person centred way. This could be personal care, homecare & household tasks, medication, meal preparation or support with cooking meals, shopping and or managing finances, arranging appointments, or accessing their local community.

- Plan and facilitate meetings with individuals and important people in their lives in order to collate the appropriate information required to write an effective support plan.
- Effectively match supported individuals to staff members, keeping in mind the identified outcomes and goals to be achieved for said supported individual.

**Organisational**:

- Ensure that the standards set by the SSSC and Care Inspectorate as well as The Richmond Fellowship Scotland's own standards are always met.
- Positively represent the values of The Richmond Fellowship Scotland when engaging with all external agencies.

**Additional Information**

**How to Apply**:
