Duties may include:
- Supporting and encouraging participation in activities and outings
- Providing companionship and meaningful interaction
- Assisting with light household tasks relating to our son
- Supporting him to keep his bedroom and toys tidy
- Supporting his daily routine and helping him maintain a safe, comfortable environment
Experience of supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) would be beneficial, but we welcome applications from people with the right personal qualities and a willingness to learn.
We are also proud owners of a lovely therapy dog who is very much part of our family, so applicants should be comfortable around dogs.
