Support Worker

'I am incredibly excited to be able to move and I am looking to find the right staff to support me to thrive in my new environment.

I tend to get along better with male staff members, but I am also happy to be supported by female staff members too. I really appreciate my team being polite and patient with me, gently reminding me to complete tasks and ensuring you are proactive in your approach.

I really love cooking with the help of my team, a long with watching War & Comedy films. I enjoy playing snooker, day trips and going out for food. I would like to give gardening a try and will finally have the opportunity to do this in my new home as I will have my own small garden to take care of. I love doing different activities and with the right support and encouragement, I could really expand on the activities I currently enjoy.

If you can think outside of the box, are polite and person centred, we could be a great fit!'
