Hi, I am looking for people to support me in my new home in the local community in Whitfield, Dover.

I have my own ways of doing things, which the rest of my team will help you to learn, and if you're the right person, we'll get on great!

I love to go to my favourite parks and for long walks in the countryside and going out for cake!

I love a foot massage as it relaxes me and keeps me calm.

I cannot speak but I can tell you what I want to do by using my picture communication system. You need to learn my language, and we can then have some fun. 

I must have a predictable, structured and consistent routine.

As a member of my team, you will be given full training and induction from my Team Leader and you first few shifts will be alongside her so you can get to know me and I can get to know you!

• Developing my life skills and personal interests
• Helping me stay safe and healthy
• Assisting with my personal care needs
• Manual handling
• Supporting me with medication 
• Ensuring record keeping is maintained to the required standard at all times and contributing to service monitoring requirements

The Ideal Candidate
