Self Employed Support Assistant for a young person 20 hr/wk @ £15.50/hr in BS10 - Bristol - BS10

SELF EMPLOYED SUPPORT ASSISTANT
I am looking for a self-employed support worker to help me out in the community and at home.
Must have PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) training.
I am 22 years old and I love music, dancing, walking, playing board games, swimming, cycling, word search, computer games, and iPad. I am learning the piano and I really enjoy road maps.
I am trying to return to a college close to home and I enjoy my café job when I can do this.
I also have autism which means that I find communicating with other people difficult and hard to follow on my own. I am good at some social things such as knowing the way everywhere in Bristol, maths, building complicated rail tracks, and trying to be as independent as possible with one-to-one support to assist me.
Applicants, if not already, would receive some basic training too.

Job Description:
I’ve worked hard using therapies of PBS (Positive Behaviour Support), although I am now generalising all my skills to natural settings.
My mum has supported and managed all my teachings thus far with providers and will be happy to give a handover to you to support me in the activities through my diary week.

1. Taking me on fun days out!

- A clean driving licence is desirable.

- All Covid appliances applicable.

Requirements:
Enthusiastic, caring individual, willingness to learn and provide fantastic support alongside daily living skills.
Experience working with young adults and autism.
Experience/training in Positive Behaviour Support therapy.
Enjoy doing sport activities such as swimming, tennis, and football, going for a drink, and meeting friends.
Patient, reliable, fun, active, and understanding applicant.
Full DBS required.

Hours:
Up to 20 hours per week, some during the weekday, two evenings, 4 hours on a Saturday depending on candidate availability which can be discussed at interview.

Pay:
£15.50 per hour.
