Meet our client
I am a 31‑year‑old male with cerebral palsy. I am actively recruiting for a support worker/personal assistant to join a team of two already established carers to assist me with maximising my independence and daily routine. I currently reside in an adapted property with my family in the picturesque Hawkshaw area of Bury. I consider myself an active, social, and inspiring individual, who prides myself on not letting my condition define or prevent me from living life to the full, developing my learning or trying new experiences. I am an experienced AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) user which assists me with my day‑to‑day communication and expressing my thoughts and feelings. I have a job which involves me going into schools and providing managerial support and mentorship to others with regards to communication systems and I am regularly asked to give presentations at international conferences. I enjoy keeping myself fit, challenging myself and engaging in regular community activities such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, horse‑riding, boccia, drama, wheelchair football and educational courses.
