'Hi, my name is Joshua and I'm currently living in my own home in Folkestone, Kent and I am supported by SeeAbility. Experience supporting people like me, a man with autism, would be essential. I am looking for a female who is calm, patient and a positive support worker to join my team. You need to support me to lead the life I want and to encourage me to be gradually more and more skilled and confident. We are looking for drivers so you must hold a valid driving licence and have a willingness to drive a vehicle. Whilst I need a quiet and happy environment in my home, I enjoy visiting castles and swimming so I’d love it if you liked these things too. I also like Harry Potter and Disney Pixar I’d love for people to join my team who have the same interests as me so they would need to be physically fit, and 100% reliable. I have autism and sometimes my behaviour can be challenging but that shouldn’t stop me doing the things I love and leading an active life. Sometimes I’ll need your encouragement to learn life skills and gain independence but that’s something everyone needs at times; as long as you are gentle, can see the value in small gains, will follow coaching from my behaviour support person and are willing to help when needed we will get along just fine' This is a challenging role but very rewarding for the right person. Our homes each have their own welcoming and experienced team of Support Workers, Deputy’s and Managers who will assist you in your journey and help your professional development.
