A bit about me:
Hi, my name is J. I am 18 years old and a power wheelchair user. I have Cerebral Palsy affecting all 4 limbs and Epilepsy. I startle at some sudden loud noises but recover quickly. I carry emergency medication just in case an episode lasts for 5 minutes or longer. I love watching programmes on my Tablet and PC. I can use my right hand to find my own programmes on the Tablet. I can talk and understand people. I have a great sense of humour and love having fun.
About the role:
I would like to visit my local community more and need someone to help me steer my power wheelchair and/or drive my mobility van. I love going to local charity shops and choosing books and DVDs and making new friends. I might also need help with drinking and hand over finger food. I will require support with personal care. It is requested that the applicant be Female due to the role involving personal, intimate care. For this reason, it is exempt under the general occupational requirement section of the Equality Act 2010.
The kind of person I am looking for:
I am looking for somebody who is friendly, approachable and most importantly “fun” to be with. Responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Good communication and social skills. To respect confidentiality and privacy and be sensitive to my needs. Able to accept responsibility and be willing to learn and be able to work on your own initiative.
