The supper club runs at Ramekin and Rolling Pin in Lenzie, every Wednesday evening 5-7pm. This is open to our neurodivergent community members. This is an opportunity for them to be supported to cook simple, healthy, inexpensive meals on a budget. Participants always get a chance to share a meal together as well and enjoy the social nature of that too.
Experience required
Skills: Good communication and listening skills are essential. An interest in supporting autistic people and people with a learning disability to become more independent.
Attitudes: Empathy with people who have disability. Patience, kindness and tolerance. An understanding of some of the difficulties autistic people and those with a learning disability might have in relation to undertaking a group like this.
Experience of working with disabled adults and young people would be helpful.
