Summary

About Me

I am a 21-year-old young man living at home with my mum, younger sister and our four cats. I attend a day service during the week and enjoy music, gaming on my Xbox, watching films with my family, going to the cinema, and playing Uno.

Hours and Rate of Pay

Hourly Rate: TBC

Hours: Monday to Friday (hours to be discussed) and Saturdays 9:00am to 1:00pm.

The role is offered across six days per week, with a half-day on Saturdays. Bank Holidays will generally not be required unless additional support is needed.

Location

Witham, CM8

DBS/Checks

A satisfactory DBS check, references and proof of the right to work in the UK will be required.

What You Would Be Doing

I require support with daily living tasks as my mobility can be difficult. I use crutches at all times and frequently require a wheelchair. Support is needed with personal care, including assistance with bathing, dressing and using the toilet. During periods when my epilepsy is more severe, I may require additional support and reassurance due to anxiety about falling.

The role will also involve driving me to appointments and activities, as well as supporting me with meal preparation, basic household tasks, laundry, ironing and changing bedding.

The Person I Would Like

I am looking for someone who is kind, encouraging and able to provide gentle but firm guidance when needed. The successful candidate will help me develop my independence and support me as I move into the next stage of my life.
