**Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role**: I live in a bungalow in Bournemouth. I require staff who can support me with my day to day life, including support with medication, eating and drinking, personal care, behaviours of concern, communication, and anything else that I may need support with. In order to support me and meet my needs you will be trained in lots of different area’s including, epilepsy, Learning Disability, Autism and Positive Behaviour Support. These are just a few of the training courses we will support you to complete.
**What is important to me**

I have my own garden which I enjoy using in the warmer months. The road I live on is easy to park on and doesn’t get too busy. I love my home. It is decorated with lots of different animals on the walls as I love animals. I love going for drives in my car. I currently do not like to get out of the car due to my anxieties but my staff are working on this with me. When I am at home I enjoy looking through my books, pointing out animals and waiting for my staff to make the animal noise - I find this really funny I can't wait to meet you, and hear your animal noised too
