I am a man in my mid thirties living in Seaford and I have 6 hours per week available for a kind and patient support worker to support me in my own home and in the community.
I need support to manage correspondence and related paperwork, I can become overwhelmed by letters, and communication that goes along with these. I need help with budgeting, household tasks, particularly those involving cleaning and clearing up; this is associated with the impact of my OCD.
I would like support to be able to manage these tasks more effectively and that having support will also help me to manage the anxiety that I feel currently when trying to complete these tasks on my own.
If you think you would be able to offer the support I need, please do get in touch.
