ABOUT THE ROLE

Hi, I am a 43-year-old gentleman living in my own home. I have cerebral palsy and require support to live my life to the full.

I am looking for caring individuals to join my current support team.

A key part of the role is to support me to access the community and attend activities.

I play Boccia every week and take part in competitions up and down the country. I also love going out with my partner, family, and friends for meals, and my PAs enable me to do this, including by playing Boccia with me. I also have two water turtles which I need support to maintain; I love my turtles and they hold a great deal of value to me.

A full UK manual driving license is essential. Applicants should be over the age of 25 for insurance purposes and feel comfortable driving a mobility adapted car.
