Hi, I'm a 21 year old young lady looking for more carers to join my support team.
Support is needed one weekend a month and school holidays only as I attend a residential college. I'm looking for someone who is fun and can plan exciting activities. I like animals, swimming, shopping and cinema.
I require help with personal care and tube feeding. training will be given. I communicate in British sign language so a basic level of sign language is needed with a willingness to learn within the role.
You would need to be able travel to work as I live in Tidworth. I have a wheelchair accessible van, so a driving license is desirable, but not essential as taking public transport is part of my learning outcomes for independence.
