I am a 17 year old boy who sustained a brain injury as a baby. As a result, I have complex cognitive and physical needs. The people who know me best describe me as loving, happy, determined, cheeky, and caring. I’m sociable, friendly, and have a great sense of humour. I like to stay active and busy — I enjoy cycling, swimming, skiing, and gaming.

I’m looking for an enthusiastic, fun, patient, and reliable Therapy Assistant/Rehabilitation Support Worker to help me take part in the activities I love and to support me in becoming more independent. You’ll need to be calm and patient under pressure, able to apply a consistent approach, and enjoy helping someone make progress and have fun along the way. I need a little help with personal care, but mostly I’d like support after school to enjoy social and leisure activities, take part in therapy, and continue developing my life skills for the future.

A full induction and training will be provided. This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check.

(This role would be an excellent opportunity for a therapy student or psychology graduate)
