| What you would be doing… | I require support in my family home, including personal care – getting up, getting dressed and toileting. Someone to get my meals ready and support me at meal times.
I am hoisted for transfers, so experience of using a hoist would be good, but training will be given.
I like to spend time at home but I’d also like assistance to be able to get out now and again and do things that interest me, such as the cinema, bowling, eating out and to attend appointments.
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.
You should be hard-working, reliable, committed, honest, and trustworthy with a good sense of humour.
It is important for me to have regular and reliable support workers and someone that shares similar interests to me. I love to chat, so good spoken English is a must.
Driving licence essential.
