Job Summary

I was born in 2000 and live with complex physical, psychological, and communication needs due to an injury  that’s just one part of my story - I’m fun-loving, sociable, and I love getting outdoors, shopping, attending day services, and having a good laugh with my support team.

I live in an adapted annexe off of my parent's house, it is a rural area so being a car driver is essential. I use a wheelchair and am gastrostomy fed, so confidence in these areas is essential. I rely on my carers and parents for all of my daily needs.
