She uses an AAC device as well as makaton to communicate (training will be provided), but she is very good at getting her point across.

- Picking up from school 2/3 days a week.
Candidate qualities:

- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Must be comfortable with pets
Additional requirements

Please note, if you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
