About me

I am a 21-year-old young man who lives with my family in Saxmundham. I like to keep myself active, so I go to college 3 days a week. I love sports, especially football, and I used to be a good player! I like to follow football leagues, and playing FIFA on the PlayStation is one of my favourite hobbies. I also like clothes, fashion, playing pool, going to the cinema, and taking long walks. I have a mild learning difficulty and OCD, and so I need support to access activities in the community. I’m looking for a support worker who can give me guidance and reassurance when I need it. Someone who understands OCD and learning difficulties would be very helpful.

Please be aware that I’d prefer support workers not to take photos whilst they are supporting me. If you need to use your phone, please could you let me know in advance, so I know you aren’t taking pictures of me.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• To get me out and about
• To drive me to and from my activities
• Support me with accessing my activities (i.e. Fareshare in Ipswich and leisure activities)
