We are currently recruiting to add to our existing team due to an increase in hours of care. The role is to support an 18-year-old young gentleman with complex care needs in his family home.

O lives at home with his parents and younger sibling. He uses eye gaze to communicate as he is nonverbal and communicates using facial expressions. O uses his eyes to direct people to what he wants and uses an eye gazer. He knows his own mind and is very set in his preferences.

O enjoys watching TV and DVDs, and the support worker works with him to plan and complete other activities during their shifts.

O accesses the community in his mobility vehicle, which his dad drives.
