About You

You should be a calm, fun individual who can swim and enjoys the outdoors. The person you will support is very outdoorsy, working on a farm three days a week and enjoys long walks on weekends. She also loves swimming, so being a good swimmer is essential.

You need to be a competent driver with a full UK driving licence, as she has her own car for outings and farm visits.

She enjoys visiting local areas like the New Forest and the beach and participates in leisure activities such as swimming, bowling, and golf during weekends.

Her interests include listening to music, watching Disney, and enjoying food.

Personal care duties include assistance with bathing, hair washing, and applying creams.

A structured routine and support with activities are essential for her well-being.

Her communication involves objects of reference, key words, sign language, and her iPad.

The support ratio is 1:1, including helping her use public transport with her bus pass.

She enjoys weekly swimming, walking, trampolining, and outdoor activities, and shares these interests with team members.

Her favorite outings include coffee shops and lunch at places like KFC or McDonald's.

Her weekly schedule involves attending a day service two days and working on a farm three days, plus supporting her small magazine delivery job monthly, which she does with her parents.
