I'm a 13-year-old girl who sustained a brain injury at birth. I have complex needs, including cognitive difficulties, cerebral palsy and autism. I am looking for an enthusiastic, fun, patient and reliable Support Worker to help me engage in the activities I love and to become more independent. You will need to be calm under pressure and be able to apply a consistent approach.

I attend a special school but only require additional support outside of school hours, enabling me to take part in social activities. I require some assistance with personal care. I attend music therapy and dance class, which I enjoy. Playing with my dolls, swimming, and spending time with animals are some of my favourite things to do. Trying something new can make me a bit nervous, so I will need a bit of extra support on those occasions.

During school holidays your hours are likely to increase to provide extra support at home and to accompany me on day trips.
