Meet our client:
I am a 31-year-old male with cerebral palsy. I am actively recruiting for a support worker/personal assistant to join a team of two already established carers to assist me with maximising my independence and daily routine. I currently reside in an adapted property with my family in the picturesque Hawkshaw' area of Bury.
I consider myself an active, social, and inspiring individual, who prides myself on not letting my condition define or prevent me from living life to the full, developing my learning or trying new experiences. I am an experienced AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) user which assists me with my day-to-day communication and expressing my thoughts and feelings.
I have a job which involves me going into schools and providing managerial support and mentorship to others with regards to communication systems and I am regularly asked to give presentations at international conferences. I enjoy keeping myself fit, challenging myself and engaging in regular community activities such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, horse-riding, boccia, drama, wheelchair football and educational courses.
For that reason, I require a person who can drive my adapted vehicle, and possess the following qualities: is highly motivated, flexible, responsible, can adapt in complex situations, confident, has excellent communication skills, is a team player and has a passion for delivering person-centred care.
Self-confidence and initiative are more important than qualifications and experience, as you may find yourself supporting the client giving presentations at national conferences, mentoring children across the Northwest who use communication aids, planning trips away, attending wheelchair football, attending a theatre group, and many other activities.
What is essential is that you can adapt your approach to the requirements of a wide range of formal and informal situations and tailor your support to allow your client to perform to his full potential in whatever situation pertains at the time.
