What you would be doing

Encouraging T to access fun activities in the community as well as supporting at home, you will be an introduction to someone other than family members.

The person I would like

If you have experience of supporting others with high functioning Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder that would be great but is not essential.

It is important that you are open and willing to learn, someone who is happy to be interactive in order to develop social skills, someone with a sense of fun.

One of your qualities will be patience.

If you have experience/knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community this would be welcome.

Age is not a barrier as T is very comfortable in the company of people of senior years.

If you can drive that would be great as T doesn't use public transport, mileage will be paid at a rate to be agreed.
