About this client/child: Fraser, nearly 8, lives in Colchester with his mum, dad, and big brother. He absolutely loves water - swimming twice at weekends and turning bathtime into a full-on aquatic event! Weekends are jam-packed from morning to night with activities, and supporting Fraser is very much a team effort. He's mainly gastrostomy-fed but enjoys tasting soft foods like ice cream and pizza. And there's more to this vibrant young boy - Fraser is a whiz with his Eye Gaze, always full of questions and bursting with imagination. A typical weekend day can look like this: as soon as Fraser wakes up his first question is 'What do we do today?' Shopping with his mum to the local Tesco (many scoots had) then onto 'Chatty Box', home for lunch, visit to a skateboarding park, swimming, MacDonalds, then home, bathtime then bed. Swimming will last up to two hours, and Fraser will be the last to leave the pool. Fraser has a WAV for getting out and about during weekends.
Someone who genuinely wants to support Fraser and his lovely family with an extra pair of hands during busy days. You'll help Fraser enjoy his activities while giving mum or dad time to focus on his brother or tackle everyday tasks. There is fantastic ongoing support and supervision from the family's case manager, manual handling, Gastrostomy training provided. Please see our website for more information.
