My name is Josh, I’m 15 years old, and I’m looking for someone fun, kind and patient to support me at home and out in the community.
I love being busy and going out. Some of my favourite things to do are going to soft play, trampoline parks and the cinema. I really enjoy going out for food, especially kebabs! At home I like colouring in, doing diamond art, watching YouTube and playing on my phone. I love listening to music and singing, and I find ambulances really fascinating. I’m a twin and I really enjoy going to school, which is an important part of my routine.
I have autism and sometimes I can find things tricky. I don’t like loud noises, even though I can make quite a lot of noise myself. There are times when I can become dysregulated, and this can lead to challenging behaviour, so I need someone who can stay calm, patient and understanding, and help me feel settled and safe again. I don’t like wearing a coat, so I will need prompting and encouragement to dress appropriately for the weather.
Your job would be to support me with my daily activities, join in with things I enjoy, help me manage my emotions, encourage my independence and make sure I’m safe and happy. It’s really important that you take time to get to know me and build a positive, trusting relationship with me.
I’m looking for someone who is kind, reliable and calm, who enjoys being active and spending time out in the community.
The vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed. At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
