The job itself
6 hours during term time and 12 hours during school holidays Parent is willing to pay additional hours and this is flexible according to the Direct Payment Worker and family's needs |
I am a 10 year old boy who is looking for a support worker to build a relationship with me and help me to access activities in the community. I like my support worker to help me to come up with new ideas for activities, and I would prefer a male role model who has an understanding of Autism. It helps me to have preplanning and lots of adult praise and attention.
I enjoy activities such as swimming, trampolining, dancing, basketball, drama, helping with jobs, going to the park and day trips out to different places such as Yorkshire Wildlife Park. I really enjoy Science Fiction, especially Dr. Who, and I also love to notice fast cars when out and about - and enjoy sharing my knowledge about these.
I am funny and like to tell jokes to make people laugh with my sense of humour. I am kind and caring towards others, and especially care about my family. I love to learn things and also really enjoying sharing what I know with others.
I have an amazing vocabulary and can let people know what I am thinking and feeling most of the time, but sometimes I can need support with managing my emotions and behaviour. This happens especially when I am feeling unprepared and out of routine. I also don't like being told no, and it helps to have a creative response to boundaries and to be included in as many decisions as possible so that my choice and feelings are heard to help when I struggle with adult direction and to help me to feel safe and secure in our relationship.
