**About the Client and Support Needed**:
I am a 24-year-old female with complex health needs who currently lives at home with my mum and fully supported by my close family members. I have a great sense of humour with an infectious laugh. I respond well to structure and routine in my life and like to plan my day ahead. I also understand some simple verbal communication/Makaton and I can also communicate through gestures.

I am fully mobile; however, due to some sensory difficulties, I may present with challenging behaviours, requiring my PA’s to always supervise me to ensure I am safe. I like going for daily walks or a nice drive out. I enjoy singing along to musicals and watching YouTube on my iPad. Sometimes I do like my own space, this is really important to me and I will let you know when I need it. I like my PA’s to be open, friendly and of a caring and genuine nature.

The overall purpose of the support package is to offer a person-centred approach, to ensure our client achieves a fulfilled, happy, safe, and sociable lifestyle. You will support with a wide range of personal care needs, whilst promoting independence. You will provide support in our client’s own home as well as in the community.

You will give reassurance and make her feel safe by ensuring she has a structured routine and by patiently supporting her during meals and everyday tasks. You will support our client to communicate effectively by training in Makaton (training provided) and giving her time to process information.

Despite the role at times being of a demanding nature, both physically and emotionally, it is also, equally, a very fulfilling and rewarding role.
