Are you a compassionate and reliable individual with experience in mental health and neurodivergent support? I’m a 35 year old female seeking a personal assistant support worker to help me navigate daily life and support my journey towards independence.
About Me: I have mild hidden learning difficulties, Complex PTSD, and a developmental language disorder (DLD). I love horses and occasionally go horse riding. I know how to ski, though I haven't done so in a while. I’ve lived in different countries and attended special needs boarding schools. While I am quite capable physically and consider myself organised and tidy— one of my biggest strengths — I need support in other areas, especially in Mental Health and Emotional well-being.
What I Need:
Advocacy Support: Help with complex conversations, letters, and navigating important discussions.
Wellness Support: Assistance with maintaining a balanced diet and healthy eating habits, with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment in the process.
Companionship: Someone who enjoys going on trips, being around animals, and sharing experiences with me.
Understanding & Patience: Experience with mental health, including behavioral meltdowns, is essential. It's important to understand that my DLD means I may struggle with complex language, following instructions, and retaining information, especially in the beginning. Please don’t judge me until you get to know me well.
Reliable and Honest: I need someone I can trust and depend on this is very important for me.
First Aid Experience: It’s essential that you have first aid knowledge to monitor medication and provide support in case of self-harm situations.
Availability: I am looking for support on Fridays to Mondays, either during the day or some evenings. I will have another support worker coming on Tuesdays to Thursdays. If you’re someone who enjoys a vibrant and supportive role, appreciates the joy of crafting, and has a heart and empathy for helping others while having fun, I’d love to hear from you!
