I worked as a Support Worker for The Brandon Trust for adults with Learning Disabilities and Autism. In this role I was there to Support service users to lead a life of their choice.
I generally worked on a 1:1 basis assisting in maintaining a happy, secure and stimulating environment for all service users. As people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders can present difficult-to-manage or challenging behaviours, I also have experience in behavioural management and using skills effective in calming service users.
I administered medication as prescribed by the General Practitioner. I also supported with a range of domestic, self care and/or social skill tasks, many with service users to include: cooking, cleaning, vacuum cleaning, personal care, driving company vehicles.
I maintained confidentiality for all areas of The Brandon Trust, its team, its work and most importantly I ensured the respect, dignity and rights to privacy for all service users as far as possible.
I have a full UK drivers license and would drive service user' vehicles. I have always been committed to my work and I am a quick learner. I feel like I'm extremely suitable and will bring all the required needs to suit this job.
