Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

I am a 42 year old lady and I have been diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, I don’t communicate using speech and I use Makaton, BSL, my own tones and hand gestures to communicate. I am quite mobile within my home but I do need assistance when I am out in the community and I do have a wheelchair. I require staff to be fully trained and competent and I like to have a regular staff team as I like them to know me well and I like to know them well There is always at least 1 colleagues on shift. 1 like my staff to work 10am to 10am with a sleepover from 11pm to 7am during this shift. This shift pattern is 7 days a week but when my Mum visits on a Tuesday and Friday she will come 10am to 5pm and I require my staff to be on call between these times just in case my Mum needs them to come into my home to support.

About you:
