Our client is a 25‑year‑old man living at home with his family and pet dog. He has cerebral palsy (dystonic/athetoid quadriplegia) and is a full‑time wheelchair user. He is extremely intelligent, sociable, and enjoys a wide range of activities including Lego, puzzles, problem‑solving tasks, socialising, and spending time in the community.

The role is centred around enabling him to live a full, active, and enjoyable life, while supporting his independence, wellbeing, and daily routines.
The Support Worker will provide high‑quality, person‑centred support to the client across all aspects of daily living, community participation, medication administration and wellbeing.

You should be confident working independently within a family home, able to build a warm and respectful relationship with the client, and comfortable adapting your communication style to suit his needs.
