Description

Support Worker/PA L30BW/NM/DP

Monday, Wednesday and Friday – 2 hours per day

Flexibility is required because my ADHD means that my routine can change from day to day, and I may need support at slightly different times depending on how I am managing. I may also need additional hours at times to attend appointments or when extra support is needed.

• Light household support

• Providing gentle accountability, including reminders and encouragement

• Assisting and prompting with accessing the community, including helping to leave the flat and attend activities or appointments

• Encouraging engagement in my hobbies and interests (creative writing and arts and crafts)I am keen to maintain and build on my independence, so I am looking for prompting and encouragement instead of someone taking over tasks for me.
