I am a 19-year-old woman living in Hailsham with my very supportive family. I am looking for a reliable, enthusiastic self-employed support worker to support me in accessing the community, socialising, and taking part in fun activities that interest me.
I enjoy video games, anime and manga, and punk music, and I would love to find someone who shares my enthusiasm for getting out and exploring new places. You will need to be a driver with your own vehicle so we can visit the places I would like to go.
I am looking for someone with a positive outlook, a good sense of humour, and a friendly, enthusiastic approach. If this sounds like you, please get in touch—I would love to meet you.
