I am looking to build a team of supportive and enthusiastic Personal Care Assistants. I am 49 years old and live at home with my mum and our elderly family dog in Tamworth. I have cerebral palsy and sensory processing disorder and although I am nonverbal, I have excellent understanding and communicate fluently with signs. Following recent surgery my mobility has reduced, but with support and regular physiotherapy, I am working hard to regain my independence and mobility.

I also have controlled epilepsy, which is triggered by trauma/viruses and is rare. The role involves not only providing practical care and assistance but also encouraging and enabling me to maintain my independence, pursue my interests and stay actively engaged in the activities I enjoy. A supportive, patient, and positive approach will help him me feel confident and motivated in my day-to-day life.

I am a very sociable person and enjoy horse riding, swimming, playing games and social interaction.
