Description

Wokingham Borough Council is pleased to announce that it is inviting tenders for the provision of an:

Information and advice service for carers and families of people with a learning disability and/or autism spectrum condition

'The service' will provide information and advice for carers of people with a learning disability and/or autism spectrum condition and their families.

'The service' should be adequately staffed to ensure that information and advice can be provided to carers and families in line with demand.

Staff should possess a wide range of knowledge and skills and be responsive to the needs of carers of young people of transition age and adults with a learning disability and/or autism spectrum condition.

Carers and families are able to access support that meets their needs but the service should aim to increase the independence of carers as well as empowering carers to do things for themselves.

'The service' will also be responsible for the delivery of activities/clubs and meetings that provide social and leisurely activities; promoting the wellbeing of the people attending.

The activities should aim to develop people's social networks, allow them to learn new skills that they may not have had the opportunity to learn otherwise as well as provide a short break for Carers.
