Hi All,
I am an employment consultant / coach working in the mental health sector. I am working with a client who has Aspergers Syndrome, he has recently left an internship where I believe he was rather taken advantage of because he worked unpaid for 2 years.
He seems very competent to me, I was a .Net developer and then team lead for 12 years before moving in to mental health, so I have at least some idea of what I'm talking about. He loves coding, does it at home a lot, and it working on a game demo at the moment.
Could anyone potentially point me in the direction of a company that might consider giving him a work trial? I am also able to offer my support to him and the employer for 1 year after he starts working, and I can arrange a subsidy through the MSD that would pay about 7k of his salary over 6 months to an employer for full time work.
Please feel free to contact me for a chat, and to see his CV etc. Thank you all!!! I really appreciate any help, this young man is a really smart, cool person, he's just shy and lacks confidence in social settings. If you hired him, he would ALWAYS show up on time, and always do his best on the job. He has never missed an appointment, been late, failed to do anything I asked him to do, or been in any way rude or difficult to work with. In fact, he's an incredibly kind sweet person, and I think this is why he's been so taken advantage of in the past. If you can help, please get in touch. Thanks again :)
