About The Client
Our client has a diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2 which has profoundly weakened her voluntary muscles. As a result, she is a full-time powered wheelchair user, her respiratory system is compromised and the majority of her nutrition is met via a gastrostomy. Her hobbies include watching Crystal Palace Football Team, Formula 1, listening to music and Netflix, Disney+ etc. The client leads a very active social life by meeting up with friends and family. She enjoys going out to social events, such as parties, pubs and nights out. I am a young female and although I am in a wheelchair I still like to get out and about and be a social butterfly, it would be important to me for my carers to not only be there for me but also enjoy and be involved in whatever we are doing. Sometimes I like to have my own space and be given some privacy, so as long as I am comfortable, and you are at the other end of the phone I can be left alone in my room or with friends when out. My appearance is very important to me, and I like to make decisions on outfits I wear, hair styles etc; it would be useful if you could do hair. I like watching Netflix, YouTube and Disney+ whenever there is no sport on the TV.
Training and Development
Full training in the client's particular needs will be provided, making this an ideal opportunity for individuals without previous care experience. You will also have on-call support from our client coordinator team.
