Meet our client
I am a 43-year-old male. I have a severe brain injury following an RTA; my behaviour can sometimes be unpredictable, especially around new people as I can be anxious until I get to know you properly. Once I am familiar with people, I have a great sense of humour and enjoy having “banta” and like to wind people up and play pranks with the help of my young son. I have two children—a son who has autism and ADHD and a daughter. They are my main motivation for my rehabilitation programme. I enjoy board games, trips to the zoo, bowling, amusement arcades, walks on the beach and with my dog. I used to be a chef prior to my brain injury and with support I hope to cook and bake again. I enjoy baking with my children. I love music and am a fan of Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Paul Weller and Santana. I enjoy concerts and dancing in my chair. I enjoy watching comedy and football (Liverpool FC).
Please note we are recruiting Male Support Workers due to a genuine occupational requirement of the person we support therefore this role is exempt from the Equality Act 2010 Part 1 Schedule 9
