Summary

I'm a 23-year-old man looking for someone upbeat, energetic, and positive to support me with activities I enjoy and to help me build my confidence and independence

About the role

Hi! I'm a 23-year-old guy looking for someone upbeat, energetic, and full of positive vibes to join me in doing the things I love. I have severe epilepsy, which has caused a brain injury, so my days can vary depending on how I'm feeling. My seizures are usually in the mornings or evenings, and I use Buccal medication when needed.

I'm also awaiting an autism assessment, and I know that having a good routine really helps me stay calm and happy.

I'm close to my family, but I'm ready to build my independence, try new things, and make new friends -- and that's where you come in!

A Bit About What I Enjoy

Going to cafes, bowling, and the cinema
Spending time with animals - they really help me relax
Getting creative with woodwork and making things (I'm pretty good at it!)
Keeping things chilled in the evenings (I like an early night!)

I don't need personal care unless I've had a seizure, and I'm definitely not a morning person

The kind of person I am looking for

Take a calm and reassuring approach Be patient and take time to understand my quirks Engage with me and be open to trying new activities Have a firm but supportive attitude Work in a person-centered, enabling way Share some of my interests (this would be a real bonus!)
