19 year old female with cerebral palsy, looking for enthusiastic, motivated and flexible workers to join my team of rehabilitation support workers, working within my home and in the community.
I love to go out and do activities such as, shopping, cinema and quiz nights; generally anything that gets me out and about and experiencing new things. I enjoy spending time in school and socialising with my friends.
I enjoy indoor activities too, like spending time playing games with my younger brothers, pamper sessions, listening to music.
My days can be quite full with therapy activities, such as hydrotherapy, standing in my movement harness and passive stretches.

use alternative communication techniques, but do like to socialise so need my support workers to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
