About me:_**

I am a lady in my 20’s that has Muscular Dystrophy and I live at home with my dad. I have many interests and these include writing, poetry and fantasy fiction. I enjoy watching films and listening to music and audio books. There will be periods of time during the working shift that I want time to myself to pursue my own interests. You will spend time within my home but when away from me, I will use my mobile phone to call when support is required.

**_

The overall purpose of my support package is to assist me in having a safe, sociable, purposeful and active lifestyle, in which I remain as independent as is practically possible.

- Attend supervision sessions with a HomeCareDirect representative so you can be assessed as being safe to perform tasks in which you have been trained
- Attend appraisal sessions with a HomeCareDirect representative so that feedback can be provided and any issues raised and discussed. Career progression and further training opportunities for personal assistants will also be discussed here
- Comply with relevant legislation and HomeCareDirect operational policies and procedures

A full, valid UK driving license is required. It is preferable that you have your own suitable vehicle to take our client out and have the appropriate insurance in place or change to driving our client’s vehicle.
