About our Client
This young adult is an ambulatory wheelchair user who relies on the assistance of dedicated caregivers to maintain their independence and well-being. Your responsibilities will encompass every aspect of daily life to ensure their comfort and quality of life. Our client is a creative individual who likes to keep busy with activities such as embroidery, painting or baking for special events such as birthdays. They live in their family home along with their 3 younger siblings and pets. These pets include a dog and two cats. The client can sometimes like time alone so will let you know if they want space. Currently, the client is volunteering at three places, on a weekly or monthly basis and they may need support in order to access these, as well as support during the volunteering sessions.
As written by her ...
"My disability is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which is a connective tissue disorder that causes very flexible joints, stretchy/ easily breakable skin and for myself, dysmotility throughout my digestive system and autonomic issues. I am also autistic and have ADHD.
This affects a lot of my social life; I often struggle when meeting new people and have difficulties with change. I will often mask my autistic/ADHD traits in social settings, but this quickly becomes exhausting, and I struggle even more to do this when I am tired/ in pain. I can become overwhelmed/ overstimulated quite suddenly- if this happens, I often just need to be guided to a quiet space.
I’m a creative person who loves being in nature and having new adventures. I also love history and learning more and chatting about the things I’m passionate about. I value inclusivity, especially around autism acceptance, disability justice and around the LGBTQ+ community.
In my free time I like to do crafty things (like embroidery and painting), hanging out with my friends, listening to audiobooks/ podcasts and going out into nature. I’ve never been one for nights out/ clubbing, but I do like going to gigs, museums/ art galleries and the cinema. Sometimes I would want my PA to come with me and sometimes I like to go out with friends independently. I would like a PA/s who can support me in all the things I love to do and would like to do in the future."
Qualifications and Requirements:
-Previous care experience (Essential)
-A Clean Automatic UK driving licence (Essential)
-Confident driver as you will be expected to drive the vehicle
-Physical fitness, patience, and a caring nature
-Self-motivated and able to use your own initiative
-Strong communication and listening skills
-Mature and responsible attitude
-Fluent in English
-Clean and tidy appearance
