**About Our Client**

Our client is a 25-year-old man who requires support with all aspects of his life - Personal Care, Clinical Care, Day to Day running of his home and general support.

He had a very bad accident in 2013 when he was hit by a car as he crossed a road in Salisbury on his bicycle. He was 17 at the time and the traumatic brain injury received has left him with serious challenges which he aims to overcome as far as possible

Lives independently in his own specially adapted home - his forever home

Enjoys all kinds of activities, getting out and about, seeing people, being active and moving and generally tiring himself out.

PA’s will need to be enthusiastic and will be required to help with therapies; physio, OT, SLT and a number of different relaxing and mobilising treatments.

Enjoys a good, gripping story - horror, crime or anything gory. He also has a very eclectic taste in listening to music and singing.

His interests are far reaching and include watching football and rugby - live and on TV. He was an England seeded squash player once and loves watching this together with table tennis and badminton.

Has been skiing on a specially adapted piece of kit which was amazing - he would love to do more of it, as he was a keen skier once.

Sailing was something he was most proficient at and again this is a hobby he would like to do more of when it’s possible.

Prior care experience is not required, all training will be provided but some experience is preferred.
