I’m a 28-year-old lady with cerebral palsy and live in an adapted property in Hendy with my parents and siblings. I’m a wheelchair user and hoisted for all transfers which requires 2:1 support throughout the day. I have complex physical needs and receive weekly input from a physiotherapist. I’m unable to communicate verbally but have developed ways of communicating to make my needs and feelings known.

A typical day for me and my support workers would include assisting with my personal care and physio in the mornings, then usually I like to get out for the day. My favourite things to do are going to the cinema, going for brunch/lunch, going shopping and for coffee & cake, also I love being pampered, I go to the hairdressers regularly and like to have my nails done.

I’m fun, adventurous, have a wicked sense of humour and love banter. You’ll need a positive outlook and be able to support me to access my current interests and help me try out some new activities.

This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. Full induction and training will be provided.

Be able to drive and have use of a car (to get to and from my house and to attend training, your personal car would not be used during work time as I have my own vehicle).
Be able to drive my adapted vehicle to take me out.

Enjoy working as part of a team.
