You First is a forward thinking, innovative and market leading Social Enterprise, formed as a Community Interest Company (CIC), that enables neurodivergent people, people with learning disabilities and/or mental health illness to build and grow their lives in a way that is both meaningful and purposeful for them. This is achieved by creating small, bespoke, dedicated teams of people who are selected by the person supported and who work to enable the person to fulfil their goals, hopes, dreams and aspirations. We call these bespoke teams Micro-Teams.

B is a 20 year old man with a diagnosis of learning disabilities and autism, who lives in Street in his own home. B is looking to build a team of Support Workers around him who will ensure his needs are met and that he gets to build and grow his life in a way that is meaningful to him. B is looking to be supported by people who are active, fun and engaging. B thrives in an environment that is structured and has a consistent approach. B enjoys drives out in his mobility car to visit places of interest such as the zoo, farms, cafés, shopping trips, and swimming. Things that are important to B are his family, his iPad and to be given informed choice in what he does.

WHAT DOES A SUPPORT WORKER DO?

Support Workers support people with a learning disability and/or autism to build and grow their lives by achieving individual life goals and aspirations. You will enable people to lead a life in which they have a meaningful role within their local community and where they can begin to foster naturally occurring social networks of support thus reducing their dependency upon paid staff.
