WHO IS YOU FIRST?

You First is a dynamic Social Enterprise that provides innovative and creative community-based support solutions for people with a learning disability, a mental health condition and/or autism.

THE POST

You will be working as part of a Waking Night Team supporting “T”, a 65-year-old man with learning disabilities and autism in Glastonbury, Somerset. T lives in his in his own property and he loves cars, plants, his garden, his family and friends, socialising, live music and food!

T needs support to have a restful night’s sleep and to keep safe during the night. He will require emotional support to help him process events, losses, and change. You will also be required to orientate T to time and place for him to understand the difference between night and day.

HOW DO WE PROVIDE SUPPORT?

We deliver support via small Micro-Teams. A Micro-Team is made up of a small group of people who have been matched with the person supported and work closely with that individual.
