• Encouraging independence, communication and choice
• Accompanying people to appointments, education and social activities
• Supporting community participation, hobbies and interests
• Delivering one-to-one or two-to-one support based on individual needs

Every day is different, but your focus will always be promoting independence, inclusion, dignity and wellbeing.
