I currently receive support to attend a voluntary placement at the local library, aqua aerobics and visits to the gym. Independence is important to me so I would like to increase the support I have to help me become more independent at home.
Responsibilities
Your time spent with me will be varied, helping me at home to undertake some household tasks such as helping me with my laundry and to keep my area within the home tidy. I would also like you to help me learn to cook a variety of meals, from snacks to a full dinner. I can shower independently but require supervision to ensure I wash and dry my hair correctly.
It is important that you are enthusiastic and fun as we will also spend some time going out, playing games and puzzles. You will need to be reliable, calm and patient and be able to apply a consistent approach.
Occasionally I may require you to work additional hours.
This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check.
Full induction and training will be provided.
