Self-Employed support worker needed to support me in my own home and to access the community. I’m looking for someone special who can support me to get back to some form of normality. I have an acquired brain injury and will need support for everyday life things.

My memory has been affected but I use reminders on my phone to prompt me to take my medication etc but can be easily distracted so may need a reminder from you.

I can access the community but would like to do more and will need your support to get out and about.

I will need to be encouraged to complete certain things, like personal grooming and dressing and domestic tasks within the home.

I have a very loving and supportive family; my partner and my two children are a constant support to me, but they need a break from time to time.
