Autism Support Worker

**Support Worker - Livingston - Driver**

**We are looking for you to be an ambassador for the support and care of individuals with autism.**

We understand that people with autism may see, experience and understand the world around them in a different way to people without autism. We gain an understanding of each person, enabling us to know how we must change in order to communicate successfully and to provide the best support for them.

We know that everyone is an individual and autism affects each person differently. This is exactly why we have separate personal plans for each person we support. No two plans are the same. Our residents can be wheelchair users or needing full support because behavioural issues, it really does vary.

You will be responsible for supporting 8 individual service users, across 3 separate units. Each individual suffers from autism, and you will be on hand to provide our clients with support in their daily routine. The core tasks of which you will be of assistance are personal care, moving & handling, meal preparation and small medication requirements.

You will be working with a great bunch of characters who all enjoy their own fun filled experiences, whether that be watching their favourite programme, heading out for a nice walk or grabbing a spot of lunch. There is always something to do, so you can expect to be kept busy

You have the chance to work over a wide variety of services, looking at Full Time/Part-Time and Ad Hoc hours. An added opportunity of becoming a permanent member of the team would be offered if that is what you are looking for. We are dedicated to promoting the development of our staff, and with that in mind, you will have access to our internal training scheme to help progress you to the next level. In return, we just need you to have a genuine passion for the role. You will be the type of person that feels making a difference in someone's life is the priority on shift, so that they can enjoy every second of every day.
