JOB REF

LM0724

I am looking for a Personal Assistant / Carer to join my support team. Ideally you will have experience of supporting someone with epilepsy, autism and learning disability, and promoting independence.

I am very sociable but can also get overwhelmed in new situations and with new people. I don’t like to be rushed, I like to be spoken to kindly and you may need to repeat instructions to me.

I love visiting pubs, cafes, theatres and going to concerts. I need to be encouraged to go and exercise and I do like routine. I like to travel on the bus and I like overnight respite breaks with my PAs.

I love to watch TV, listen to music, cook, play tennis and badminton, and walk around the park. I love arts, crafts and drama.

Things that are important to me :

To feel comfortable enough to say what I’m feeling and what I want

Keeping things calm and quiet when possible
