About F:

Help transform lives like F’s.

Hi, I’m F and I live in Barrhead. I am looking for someone who has patience, understanding, and a creative mind to support me in getting the best out of life.

I enjoy spending time in my garden, going for drives to the coast, or relaxing with my sensory projector screen. I have my own car and like to go out in it, so you must have a driving license to support me with this.

When supporting me, I need someone who can keep me safe, help me reach my potential, and show empathy and strong core values.

Are you ready to make a real difference?

You will be part of a team supporting me and other individuals in the same house. The role involves some lone working and shift patterns across seven days on a rotational three-week basis.
