Job Introduction
I am building a small team of committed, reliable, and motivated individuals to provide care for me within my home and to support me in accessing community activities, day trips, and holidays both in the UK and abroad.
About Me
I am a young man living with cerebral palsy. I live in my own home with my parents, and my support team have dedicated rooms and facilities within the house. My home is fully adapted to meet my needs, and I use a powered wheelchair both at home and in the community.
I am passionate about sports – especially cricket – and enjoy attending cricket games during the season. I also need support in building independence and confidence: planning my time, organising appointments and correspondence, and being motivated and supported to access leisure activities, health services, and social opportunities.
Your role will also involve:
Supporting physiotherapy and hydrotherapy programmes.
Assisting with medication administration.
Helping to maintain daily records and reports.
Completing online and mandatory practical training.
Undertaking some light cleaning duties to help maintain my home environment.
There may also be opportunities to live in for short periods (up to 14 days) when my parents are away, or to accompany me on trips and holidays within the UK and abroad. These will always be agreed with you in advance and with plenty of notice.
