Autism Specialist Services
You will be supporting a client/s to access the community and enjoy activities they choose to do such as swimming, bowling and going to the cinema. All our clients have their own staff [ sometimes two] to support them in the community, along with transport [ car/people carrier]. So they can choose where to go, what to do, when they like.
Could you be someone to support them do this? Sound like a good job?
Our client is looking for caring and capable staff who can think on their feet, are proactive and can cope with potentially stressful situations. Good communication skills are essential. Experience of working with autistic individuals would be useful but not essential, they can supply you with training to equip you to be a specialist worker. A can-do and positive attitude is important, alongside a great deal of energy – their service users can be very active people! They have a base in Goodmayes, where service users choose to relax and chill out when not out and about.
Their Autism Specialist Services provide a community-based day service for clients with ASD, complex needs and who can (at times) exhibit behaviours that challenge.
This service is accredited by the National Autistic Society.
It is preferred that staff are drivers, have access and willing to use their own vehicles on occasions[ petrol paid for]. The shifts are generally based around ‘office hours’ Monday-Friday, but some early evening and weekend work is expected.
In return for your skills, knowledge and experience, you'll enjoy all the support you need to develop a rewarding career, including a comprehensive training programme. They also offer a range of benefits, including a generous holiday entitlement, a contributory pension scheme and recognition of service awards.
If you feel this is a role for you and enjoy helping others whilst having fun alongside them, then please get in touch.
