About the Role
This part-time role is to join an established team supporting our client to live as independently as possible in his own home – which is a pet free bungalow – and in the community.
He’s a man in his early 30s who has an acquired brain injury, some physical difficulties, is visually impaired, and a full-time wheelchair user. He’s a caring sort of person and very much likes to have fun. He has a great sense of humour, although he can be a little shy at first until he gets to know you.
You will be working as part of a team, but there will be some working one-to-one. Tasks include all domestic duties and full personal care.
He keeps active by going to hydro swimming and playing Boccia. To help him with this you must be a confident driver of both manual and automatic vehicles – our client currently has a large van.
