I’m a friendly lady in my 60’s who experienced a traumatic brain injury a few years ago. I am looking for a supportive, proactive person to help me stay independent at home and out in the community. I will need my support worker to offer encouragement, structure and companionship.
I am able to manage my personal care independently so I will not require assistance with this. I enjoy Pilates, Yoga, walks in the park, trips to the cinema and the occasional overnight stay which I would like you to join and support me on. Most importantly, you will support me with cooking, managing my house and exploring community activities. I would like for you to use your transport to support me in accessing activities and appointments for my rehabilitation.
Through my recovery, I have good days and bad days, so I really value patience, warmth and a calm, consistent approach. You will be a part of my multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team and play an important role in supporting my on-going recovery.
This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. Full induction and training will be provided.
