Overview

She is a fun-loving woman who enjoys singing, arts and crafts, swimming, horse riding, and generally having a good time. She attends Garvald during the week and would love someone to support her both at home and out in the community. There may be occasional times when you would accompany her to Garvald, but this can be discussed at the interview.
She uses a wheelchair and a Zimmer frame. She does not require support with personal care, but you would assist her in getting to the toilet if needed.

* Supporting her with activities she enjoys, such as: Shopping for ingredients and cooking together; arts, crafts, and board games; swimming or horse-riding sessions
* Encouraging her independence while keeping activities fun and engaging
About you
