We are recruiting Support Workers to join ‘Jack’s’ new team in Kirkintilloch. Jack is a young man with Dyspraxia and Autism.

Jack will be living in his own home and is seeking support with all aspects of his life, including taking care of his home and finances as well as developing and maintaining full and active participation in his local community.

Jack is very sociable, loves being out and about and likes to keep busy. Jack loves bowling, swimming, and travelling on the bus. Jack also loves playing cards and dominoes, baking and helping in the garden.

Jack has a full week of day activities, and we are looking for someone with the enthusiasm to support him to pursue all his interests.

A commitment to a person-centred approach is essential and experience of working with people with people with Autism would be helpful but not essential.
