He takes time to establish trust with people, so respect and honesty are very important.
Having structure and routine in his daily life is also helpful.
You will be required to assist the client with the following:
- Participating in activities that he enjoys such as computing and retro gaming.
- Accompanying him to appointments as required.
- Helping him find a potential partner and make new friends.
- Accompanying him to social activities, trips, and days out.
- Actively supporting leisure and meaningful activities both inside and outside of his home.
