I am a young man with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder who is looking for a support worker who can support me to live in my own home and learn the skills that I need to become independent.

I need you to be enthusiastic with a positive outlook andeffectively use proactive strategies to help me stay safe.

I require a skilled communicator who can interpret my non-verbal communication. I need my team to be understanding and non-judgemental so I can be supported to manage my needs, develop good routines and build positive trusting relationships

I enjoy being outdoors, whatever the weather, therefore need support workers who are willing to engage in this with me.

When indoors I like listening to music and watching TV.

It would be exciting to learn about new opportunities that are available for me,I need people that can guide and explore these with me.
