Overview
We are looking for a committed support worker to join a team of carers to enable a young woman to remain independent and access age-appropriate activities in the community. She lives in the Allendale area and a car driver is essential to access her location. A mobility car is available for use to access appropriate activities with the young woman.

She is non-verbal and uses a range of alternative methods to communicate. The young woman has hypermobility; she is mobile but requires the use of a wheelchair for longer activities. She needs support with all aspects of her daily routine including personal care. The ideal applicant will be:

* Have experience supporting nonverbal individuals – formal or informal
* Physically able to manage mobility and the demands of using a wheelchair
* Be confident to build relationship and read emotions from facial expressions
* A car driver able to access the client location
