Hi! I’m a 20-year-old guy who loves gaming, Pokémon Go, bowling, cinema trips, and getting out for nature walks. I’ve got epilepsy, special needs, and sensory processing disorder, so I’m looking for a kind, fun and reliable buddy or support worker to hang out with me a few times a week.
I’m a friendly, easy-going person who loves to laugh and try new things — but I do need someone who can help keep me safe. My seizures can make me anxious and sometimes I might seem a bit switched off, but that’s just part of who I am. It means a lot to have someone calm and understanding around, especially if I need a bit of extra support or medication during a seizure.
I’d really love your help to build my independence — things like going shopping for ingredients and cooking a meal together or even working towards volunteering with animals (I absolutely love animals!).
If you’re someone who’s patient, caring, and enjoys making a real difference while having fun, I’d love to meet you. Together we can go on adventures, share laughs, and help me take the next steps towards my goals.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please get in touch — I can’t wait to hear from you!
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Companionship
- Accompany and access social and leisure activities e.g. bowling, cinema, going for walks, volunteering
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
- Experience of Epilepsy and administering emergency meds would be useful, but training can be provided.
Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours, Vulnerable to the risk of infection and disease transmission
Notes:

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.
