Calling all lovers of the outdoors!

“Hi, I am 15-year-old young man looking for support workers to join my team – I don’t care what your age, gender or orientation is, but I would prefer someone enthusiastic that can think outside of the box to keep me busy and safe.

You should have a great sense of humour, are kind, honest and happy to support me in getting out and about and completing my therapies. I need support with my personal care and all aspects of daily living, I use a wheelchair to get around and I have my own wheelchair accessible van, I love to go for drives and go out on trips. I enjoy being outdoors for walks, whatever the weather. I like all things sensory so you must be creative, I like books being read to me, being part of the chat and swimming. I live with my family who are very important to me.
