Hannah is a lady in her 30s who suffered a brain injury in 2020 which has left her with a significant visual impairment, compromised coordination in both fine and gross motor skills and increased fatigue. Hannah needs occasional hands-on personal care but is generally supportive in this area.

Hannah lives at home with her husband and their dog who is very much one of the family. She is a bubbly lady with a great sense of humour, enjoying banter with those close to her and has a naturally gregarious and mischievous personality. Candidates will need to have a natural sense of fun and zest for life to keep up with Hannah's enthusiasm for living life to the full.

Hannah requires support in every area of her activities of daily living including personal care, domestic organisation (washing/cleaning/cooking), mealtimes, mobilising safely, driving, scheduling her timetable and activities, using electronic devices, accessing the community, and caring for her dog.

Hannah likes to be busy and enjoys being out and about in the community accessing leisure and recreational facilities, going shopping, coffee with friends and spending time with her family, especially her young daughter. Hannah likes to present herself well; she has a particular interest in fashion and likes to have her nails manicured and painted regularly. She likes to make sure her home is cosy and comfortable.

Hannah also loves to go out in the evenings to bowling or bingo, going for days out as well as enjoying short breaks and holidays within the UK and abroad. Candidates must hold a full, clean, manual driving licence and be happy to drive Hannah's vehicle.

Hannah is very easily influenced by the opinions and thoughts of others and can suffer from low mood; therefore, it is the expectation that candidates always uphold their professional boundaries and positive reinforcement strategies whilst working with her.
