About the Client

You will be working as part of the team that supports a young man who lives alone in the area of Hedge End. He has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy, and has mobility restrictions, therefore you will be helping with all aspects of personal care. The team is working hard on his rehabilitation which you will support. He goes out horse riding on a weekly basis so a keen interest in animals would be beneficial.

The right candidate must be passionate, adaptable and perceptive to work closely with this man and help her maintain her independence at home. Due to her mobility restrictions, successful candidates must be able to drive.
