About the Employer

I am a young man who needs support to live my best life in my own home. Are you the upbeat, fun and genuine, and a trustworthy individual I would like to have join my small friendly team, to support me in achieving this? I have Autism and though I am physically capable, I need support to keep me safe when I am out and about. I attend a residential college during term time and I am at my family home during the holidays. I need someone to support me to attend social activities and events when I am not at college. I am a friendly sociable person. I love going to sporting activities, the cinema, bowling and eating out. I will also occasionally need someone to take me to Aston VIlla matches as I have a season ticket for myself and a PA. I love everything to do with football and most other sports! Ideally, you would have a driving licence.
