About the role
I am a 27-year-old lady with cerebral palsy, living in an adapted property in Hendy with my parents and siblings. I am a wheelchair user and hoisted for all transfers, requiring 2:1 support throughout the day. I have complex physical needs and receive weekly input from an occupational therapist. I am unable to communicate verbally but have developed ways of communicating to express my needs and feelings.
A typical day includes assisting with personal care and physio in the mornings, followed by activities outside the home such as cinema visits, brunch/lunch, shopping, coffee & cake, and pampering (hairdressing, nails). I enjoy being sociable, adventurous, and fun, with a positive outlook. You will support me to access current interests and try new activities. You will work with an existing small team of friendly, outgoing colleagues who share similar interests.
This role requires flexibility and a willingness to participate in activities that support my quality of life and independence.
