As a Support Worker, you will support the individuals in day-to-day life but also in visits to the local cinema, swimming pool, shops and the beach. The service also organises regular excursions to the larger towns of Taunton and Weston-Super-Mare to encourage independence and interaction with the local community. The services allow adults with Autism to enjoy the independence of their own room and use of the communal house for meals and activities including music and art projects. The day centre offers service users the opportunity to do activities such as woodwork, gardening and arts and crafts.
Adults within the service often have difficulties with communication and in some cases are non-verbal. Some may also have mobility issues or physical impairments, so experience in a similar setting would be preferred but not mandatory, and there may be some levels of personal care involved.
Requirements:
