Complex Community Support Worker (Z)

Position: Complex Community Support Worker (Z)

Location: Plymouth

Salary scale: Days (£9.52 per hour) and Nights (£9.72 per hour)

Hours: Variety of contract hours available

Preferred: Driving Licence

I am a young autistic man and have a number of interests such as colouring, puzzles, visiting the zoo / aquarium, cinema, going to charity shops (to buy DVD’s and music), going on walks, spending time with my family, going to the gym and anything to do with Disney / Pixar movies.

I relate well to anyone who takes an interest in my interests but especially well to people who have an interest in art and / or has a good knowledge of Disney & Pixar movies (a lot of the things I say are quotes from films or characters from films).

I work best with clear routine and structure for the day ahead and will plan out what I want to do each day by writing a list of different activities on a board (I read and write very well).

I can occasionally have difficult times, such as when things don’t happen at the time they are supposed to or having to wait. I can find it difficult if something doesn’t work properly, for example, a DVD skipping or internet problems – there are times when I can manage my emotions very well, and other times where I need robust, patient, calm and supportive people who are able to see the signs of anxiety early and use a positive behaviour support approach to help me manage.

If you feel you could be part of my team, then please get in touch with Premier Care to find out more about applying.
