About the Employer

I am a 20 year old male with autism who lives at home with my mum and dad and older brother. I currently attend Hereward College and hope to be on a supported internship in September. I enjoy going on holiday with my family and finding interesting places to visit for a day. I'm able to travel independently to college but have difficulty finding my way around unfamiliar places and need support.
