Enhance Social Care supports young adults with autism and associated learning differences between ages 17-30 in the community and in specialist supported living services.

We’re looking for enthusiastic, caring and active people to support and mentor young adults to increase their quality of life and have greater independence. Ask yourself the following:

- _**Have you a background in autism or a someone keen to get involved in the autistic community?**_

Often the people we support will be very active, doing a range of different activities that can include things like going to the gym, long hikes, swimming and more. We are looking for people who would relish the opportunity to support people on activities such as these and understand the importance of collaborating with the people they support.
