We are looking for someone who can help him access the community, enjoy the activities he loves, and continue to build his independence and confidence. The role will involve accompanying him to activities and outings, providing practical support where needed, and helping him make the most of new opportunities. Our son has a physical disability and uses a powered wheelchair. He requires support with some physical tasks and assistance when out in the community. A full UK driving licence is essential, as you will be required to drive his Motability vehicle. Applicants must be aged 21 or over for insurance purposes. Experience of supporting children, young people, or individuals with disabilities would be welcomed but is not essential.
