This young person struggles socially and lacks confidence and understanding of the ways of the world, so we are seeking support from someone who has experience of special needs and/or specifically autism and who is willing to provide company and companionship as well as help with daily activities with which she struggles.

- Respectful of dignity and independence
- Good communication skills and social skills
- Punctual and flexible
- Ability to work on your own initiative
