Would you like to join my team? I am a young lady living at home with my family in Didcot, Oxfordshire. We are looking for additional team members to help support me in my home and out in the community. I enjoy socialising and going out so it’s important that you can drive my vehicle.
I have complex health and support needs which include some clinical support so I must have confident and competent staff who are good communicators and can use my equipment safely. I have support with all aspects of my daily living which includes personal care, feeding and administering medicines through my Mickey Tube and moving and handling support including all transfers. I also require regular chest physio and suctioning.
Whilst I need all this support it’s also important to me that I remain as independent as possible and am given opportunities to choose and be involved in my decisions. I have a person-centred support plan which will help my team to support me with my health and care needs effectively. I also have a good existing team which includes my mum as well as staff, some of whom have known me since I was little. It’s important to me that you get on with everyone as well as me and that you can have a laugh with us all.
Could you be the person to support me? I require female drivers who have a clean, full UK driving license so that they can drive my vehicle. The ideal candidate will be committed, reliable, flexible, and have a positive and caring nature with a cheerful personality and excellent communication skills. Experience in care and Learning Disabilities is desirable, however, this is a great opportunity for someone who is willing to learn and expand their knowledge in health and social care.
