Job Description


This vacancy is for a support worker to join our client’s support package to support them in their own home. We will be your legal employer on behalf of the client and you will not be asked to support other clients.  All of our contracts are for permanent positions with a 6 month probationary period. 

This vacancy is for 10 hrs per week which can be organised flexibly with the family.

Our client is a gentleman in his 30's who has autism and limited understanding. He loves to be with adults, talking and sharing information.  He enjoys being outdoors and out and about and his hobbies include walking, swimming, visiting coffee shops and going out for meals. He sometimes likes watching Disney films, National History documentaries and listening to the news. Our client is also a good talker with fantastic social skills.

The ideal support worker for our client will help to keep him rounded by creating a stress-free environment, by displaying patience in response to his repetitive questions and who will keep him safe. You will help with personal care, medication and patches, cooking and domestic tasks around the home (our client likes things to be clean and tidy).
