Are you looking for a new role which will be fulfilling and fundamental in enabling a young adult Client to develop his confidence and independence while supporting him to access his many interests and hobbies? If so, our client has the perfect role for you.
The Client
The client is an active 24 year old young man who lives in the family home with his mum and two sisters. He suffered a brain injury at birth which has resulted in cerebral palsy affecting both his gross and fine motor skills as well as causing significant fatigue at times. As a result, the client requires support and assistance with certain activities and when accessing the local community.
One of the clients’ particular challenges is in engaging with others in social situations due to low confidence, especially in unfamiliar surroundings or with people he doesn’t know. That said, he aspires to enjoy the same social situations and environments as other people of his age and is keen to develop his independence away from his close family unit.
Hobbies & Interests:
The client has many interests including archery, gaming, dog walking and reading. He attends weekly judo and self-defence classes and is currently considering learning to drive. He also has a passion for travel with a growing interest in campaign and bushcraft skills.
