Support Worker for Lucy

3 weeks ago

Walsall, United Kingdom Seco Support Limited Full time

Hi my name is ‘Lucy’. I am 17 years old, I have a diagnosis of Autism, Anxiety and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) and significant challenging behaviour. I live in my own home in Walsall and have a pet dog called Alfie. Living in my own home has been great and I really enjoy DIY and making my home my own. I really enjoy cooking and baking and regularly treat my team to homemade goods. I struggle to communicate my emotions but I am very creative and use my art to express myself, this can be messy such as painting or crafty such as making candles or building bird houses. I am like most 17 years old’s and enjoy shopping and going out to have fun especially trampolining and long bike rides. I am not always so active, during my down time I like reading true crime books and watching documentary’s.

Seco Support, support adults and young people with Learning Disabilities, Autism and Mental Health difficulties to live in their own homes in the community. They are a friendly and compassionate, person-centred company with significant experience in developing individual packages of support. They are looking for Support Workers to add to my team.
