About the Client and Support Needed:
I have a committed and dynamic small care team and I am looking for additional care staff to join. I am an independent man in my early 30's who has Cerebral Palsy and I am a wheelchair user who needs assistance in all aspects of daily living.

1. Administration of medication and regular stock-taking
2. Moving and handling with a hoist
3. Gastrostomy care
4. Personal care
5. Specialised techniques
6. Assisting me in the community
7. Administrative duties
