Her diagnoses include mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and dissociative episodes. Due to the complexities of this young woman’s mental health, it would be preferred that you have experience working within mental health or have personal experience of this. There is a mental health professional (CPN) involved, and you will provide support and guidance. There are also physical diagnoses including sleep apnoea, back pain, and asthma, so her condition and how she feels fluctuates each day.

She is able to do more on good days, and this can fluctuate from day to day. You will support her with going to the shops, meeting friends, and taking part in various activities such as going to the gym and out for food.

Each day will be different depending on what she wants to do, so you should be prepared to be flexible. We would also like the support workers to be able to suggest things to do out in the community, so you should be willing to be proactive in finding various activities to take part in.
