Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:
 
About Me:
I enjoy having my own space. Routine is important and this means that you will need to think outside of the box. The team is dedicated to supporting me to help me live my best life possible
 
To support me well you will need to access a variety of community facilities and person-centred activities. We evolve and develop together to do things better.

You will need to be reliable and very motivated with a genuine passion for what you do.

I will need you to be willing and enthusiastic, always striving to go above and beyond. We need you to understand our compliance with contracts and CQC and help us reach the “Outstanding” rating. I need you to commit to being totally personalised in all that you do.

You will need you to always communicate in a positive and honest way, using communication aids that I understand, mainly via basic Makaton or on my iPad.

It is important for for me to have positive relationships with family and circles of support who are all very important!

I love to recycle and frequently visit the recycling centre. I enjoy going for rides in the car and out for walks. Especially having my snack whilst I am out. I like to watch movies on TV at home, especially comedies.

I find bubbles great fun and really enjoy it when staff encourage me to play with bubbles. I enjoy going out to play bowling, especially if this is followed with a pint at the pub.

My aspiration is to visit Buckingham palace, so if you have any inside connections, you are hired!
