We have a great opportunity for a Support Worker to join our team and to support our client in the Bridgewater area.
About our client:
I am 21 years old and looking for a support worker to join my small team of support workers.
I undertake a range of activities at home and in the community.
I adore all things sport related. I also love music and computer games. I’d love my support worker to enjoy these things too.
I have cerebral palsy. I use a wheelchair full time and need help with all aspects of personal care and daily living activities. I need assistance to eat and drink as my upper limb function is limited. I have a PEG for top up feeding. I love to chat and interact but my cerebral palsy effects my speech patterns so you sometimes have to help me be understood, I have a communication aid which I use for some activities but I mostly prefer to use my verbal speech.
I have a fully adapted and equipped property and wheelchair accessible vehicle.
I need you to help me access desired activities at home and in the community. Some of my desired activities include partaking in local groups, watching sports, comedy or music events. I need support to do therapy and social and leisure activities. I have a team of one team leader, one senior support worker, and 3 further support workers who you will work alongside. I am currently looking to increase my care team to ensure I have consistent weekend cover and cover for annual and sick leave of existing team members.
