The ideal candidate will be a dynamic individual who will be motivated to support our client with new opportunities out in the community. An animal lover would be a great fit as our client volunteers with the Zoo Project each week on a Thursday and the role would involve supporting with this, as well as other social activities. Our client engages with therapy services to help support her mobility and independence and it would be important for the support worker to feel comfortable in engaging in Physio and OT sessions, some which may involve accessing a hydrotherapy pool.

Our client will have the opportunity to go on day trips or weekend breaks where her weekly hours could be used flexibly to support her with this, with occasional overnight stays, this can be discussed further as required.
