Come Join Me! – Support Worker Needed in Horsford (Moving to Great Melton soon), Norfolk
Part-Time (3pm - 8pm Monday to Friday) and Bank Shifts Available
Hi, I’m Thomas!
I’m a kind young man (born in ) with a great sense of humour and a big love for swimming, music, dancing, and McDonald's! I live at home with my family and go to a place I call “the gym” – it helps me with my physiotherapy and keeps me moving. I like to go shopping and try out various takeaways!
I have cerebral palsy and a brain injury from birth, which means I use an electric wheelchair and need help with some things like hoisting, manual handling, and physiotherapy. I also have scoliosis, which causes me pain sometimes, but I’m getting treatment soon. I find it hard to process information sometimes, so I really appreciate people who take their time with me and help me feel comfortable. Being an advocate for me is extremely important, as well as ensuring I am safe.
