Job Description:
Our services are complex – a fresh challenge doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. Come and tell us about your experience.
Sean’s motto is to live life to the fullest. He teaches us every day that whatever the circumstances – it’s important to live a happy life of your choosing.
At the age of three, Sean moved from home into a large residential hospital to live in an environment that, at the time, was thought to be best for his complex support and care needs.
He continued to have a great relationship with his mum and was happy. But as the wards got bigger, it became more difficult for Sean to live a life of his choosing, and the support that had been abundant at the beginning, began to ebb and flow.
Moving to Carr Gomm
In 2003, Carr Gomm opened a new service in Forth Valley – a spacious bungalow designed for people with complex physical and emotional support needs. Sean moved here to his new home.
Nearly 20 years later, he is more independent, curious, fun, and above all else, happy. Over the years, our team has worked closely with Sean – getting to know his likes and dislikes. Together, we’ve created support that works for him as an individual. Our support is delivered 24 hours a day, across a variety of shift plans.
