About Me
I am a 20-year-old male powerchair user who has Cerebral Palsy and OCD. I live with my family in Sutton, near Ely, CB6. I enjoy DnD, gaming on my laptop, Doctor Who, Marvel, Star Wars, history, writing and politics. I have a great imagination and love utilising that in my writing. Main Duties. I require support in my family home, including getting dressed, toileting and personal care. Someone to get my meals ready and help me at meal times. I am hoisted for transfers, so experience of using a hoist would be good but training will be given. I'd also like assistance to be able to get out and do things that interest me, such as attending DnD events, the cinema and eating out amongst other things. You will have access to my wheelchair adapted vehicle, to take me out, so a driving licence is a must.

You should have the skills to give me support with building my confidence and self-esteem and promoting my independence.

It is important for me to have regular and reliable support workers and someone that shares similar interests to me.
