Make a Positive Impact in Someone’s Daily Life
Meet Our Client
The client requires support with personal care, mobility, daily living
activities, and maintaining safety within the home. He has Down syndrome,
high-functioning autism, a learning disability, and several complex health
conditions that impact his day-to-day life, including mobility difficulties and
an increased risk of falls.
He benefits from consistent support, reassurance, and routine, as
changes can increase anxiety and affect his wellbeing. Building trust is
important, as he may initially find it difficult to accept support from
unfamiliar carers.
The client enjoys an active and fulfilling lifestyle and has a range of
interests, including basketball, WWE, gaming, photography, scrapbooking, and
collecting Marvel memorabilia. He also enjoys attending local community
activities, car boot sales, and spending time outdoors.
This role requires a patient, reliable, and person-centred support
worker who can promote independence, ensure safety, and support the client to
continue enjoying the activities that are important to him.
