About the role
I am a happy, positive, kind and caring young woman. I am always learning and like exploring new opportunities. I am intelligent, curious and full of positive thinking and it’s important for me to find someone with similar traits to myself. You will need to be mature and upbeat whilst working with me, to help me get the most out of life.
I need support and encouragement with day-to-day tasks, including speech and language skills, as well as building my self-confidence and independence.
I love to go on outings, walks, and chat, and am very interested in fashion, beauty, arts & crafts, playing games, music and singing.
