3 weeks ago


Edinburgh, United Kingdom Oliver Bowman Full time

Summary:
We are currently building a team of people to work with me one to one. Own transport essential. I am 31 years old and I have autism and associated learning difficulties. I live at home and need support with daily activities. I am learning new skills to help me to be as independent as possible. I need help to do this. I like doing fun things too. In particular I like to listen to stories, music and I love the funfair. Active Support means that I need support to do my share of daily chores and to learn and practice new skills so that one day I can live in my own place with support. I find transitions difficult and I can be very frightened by dogs particularly if they are off the lead. If I am frightened by a dog I can become very agitated and hit out at my support assistant. There are lots you can do to help me avoid this or help me through this.

Details

The job is varied and includes the following:
To manage my diet and enzyme therapy.

To support practicing my current independence skills. E.g self-care routines

To support the learning of new skills. E.g doing laundry, cooking.

To support me in accessing the Community and making friends. E.g shopping, Clubs

To support my developmental programme. E.g occupational therapy exercises, a literacy programme and handwriting programme.

To encourage my health and fitness. E.g beach walks, gym sessions, accessible bike riding and finding new fun ways to exercise.

We are looking for a positive, confident person, who is able to give me the space I need to continue developing but also guide me. Someone who is lively and fun, who loves music, singing and reading stories to others. A reliable, punctual and honest individual. A non-smoker. Someone who is not afraid of numbers and can calculate percentages confidently using a calculator. Experience in communicating with people with autism and learning difficulties is important and an interest in alternative therapies would also be beneficial. Full training is given with full support on diet and enzyme therapy until competent. At that point the hourly rate will increase. A full driving licence with business insurance is required together with PVG and own transport. Working hours are 9 hour shifts. There is the possibility of extra hours some evenings and cover for respite including overnight. Day or days to be agreed.
