The job itself
I am a 14 year old boy who is looking for a worker to support me independently with accessing the community, helping with socialising and opportunities for me to meet and make friends. I like to socialise, and I am a good friend. People who know me well say I am funny, kind, and caring.
Hours will be 3- 4 hours per week with 7 hours on alternate Saturdays. Days and hours are flexible and are to be arranged with my parent.
I enjoy playing football and I am told I am good at playing this sport. I also like going swimming, basketball, badminton and hanging out with my friends.
I like taking part in activities outdoors such as walks, bike rides and attending Scouts, which included taking part in the adventure to Austria for the Scouts annual Jamboree. Where we took on roles and worked as a team and took part in fun adventurous activities.
At home we have a pet dog which I love to spend time with. I like cooking or gaming on my Xbox. I really enjoy being around animals and this is an interest of mine, and I go horse riding which I really enjoy.
I like to feel prepared for what is expected of me, what is happening or where I am going. I don’t like surprises or changes to my routine where plans are changed, and I would need support with this. I like to feel included with what is happening and to feel part of the group or activity.
I really do not like tight or uncomfortable clothing or sudden loud noises. People who know me well know I am best supported with my communication to help me express how I feel and my likes and dislikes.
I can express myself through my changes in behaviour if I am not regulated, it would help me if I felt understood and this would help my confidence. I find processing my emotions difficult, and I would need a trusted adult to support me with this, I like sensory toys when I feel anxious or worried. I would like to feel safe and secure to be able to make and maintain friendships and I need to be given a chance and to be supported with this.
DBS/Reference checks will be required – Cost to be met by the local authority
