Job description

Overview

£12.21 per hour, job share of 20 hours a week. Hours across Monday to Sunday, with various times (morning, afternoon, evening).

I enjoy socialising with friends and family, going for walks and gardening, attending an art class and a printing class, going to church on Sundays, and meeting with a friends group mid-week to discuss daily life. I have several volunteer roles including working with two committees, playing and singing as part of a church band, helping manage a website, and helping lead parts of the Sunday service. I like playing the recorder and playing in an orchestra. I enjoy learning about computers and Computer Science through online and local groups and value staying close to family, friends, and my local community.

I have FND symptoms, epilepsy and PTSD symptoms. My main FND symptoms are drop attacks (falling to the floor) and functional seizures lasting seconds to hours. Partial seizures due to epilepsy last typically less than two minutes. My PTSD symptoms include flashbacks and nightmares lasting a few minutes.

I will require support during the day with times varying Monday to Sunday. These times can be discussed at interview.
