I am an adult lady living in my own home, in High Peak, Derbyshire. I live with diagnoses of NEAD (Non-epileptic Attack Disorder), Vestibular Disorder, FND (Functional Neurological brain Disorder), Diverticulitis, and Asthma. My diagnoses affect my daily life as I experience regular seizures and absences, mobility difficulties, stomach pains and breathing difficulties. Each of my diagnoses has symptoms which have a knock‑on effect on another, and this can lead me to become anxious and low in mood from experiencing symptoms and anticipating the next.

I have full capacity and can communicate verbally with staff to direct my own support, at times when I am not having a seizure.

On a night to night, you will need to ensure that I am safe and well and support with tasks such as making drinks, support me if I am unsteady on my feet and support with any food preparation if I need this. Your presence will ensure I am safe, comfortable and supported.

I am looking to recruit a staff member to support me during the night Monday to Thursday which will be sleep in shifts.

The ideal candidate will be a driver and have use of their own car (although this is not essential; it is preferred), be flexible, patient, empathetic, have a good sense of humour. I need to be able to trust and feel comfortable with my staff. You will need to speak English fluently so that I can engage in conversation with you.

My family and my pet dog are very important to me, so it is important that you are also able to engage with them and have a shared love of animals. You must also be able to demonstrate a high level of professionalism and integrity, promoting my independence and respecting my home.
