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 its 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 its 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. Its 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 femaledrivers 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.
